Modern public health clinic
PUBLIC HEALTH CLINICS
Hospitals need to be available to care for trauma victims, surgical patients, and other acute care needs. The availability of public health clinics in every community in Haiti, as planned by the government and many humanitarian agencies, would help alleviate many of the health problems in Haiti, provide immunizations and preventive care for children and adults, and would relieve the burden on hospitals by providing urgent care and ongoing treatment for the community’s residents. It is imperative to have modern public health clinics in others cities, urban area and villages to provide medical service to the population, especially where there are no hospitals or health care facilities. Violence and limited resources have often left hospitals and clinics without staff or supplies. Families will transport their loved ones for miles to the limited facilities available, but treatment and medications are often not sufficient. Without government or private insurance programs, health care fees are often beyond the means of most people in Haiti. Therefore, our goal is to establish and operate a modern public health clinic in every village, city and urban area.
