Blog

Our blog is your portal for updated and relevant information and news about the healthcare infrastructure in Haiti.

Our blog can help you learn more about Haiti and give you critical information on the state, challenges, potential remedies, and growth of the healthcare infrastructure in the country. You may also find information regarding:

The health challenges faced by Haitians on a regular basis.
How different natural disasters historically have and potentially can cripple the existing healthcare infrastructure in Haiti.
The state of local clinics and medical facilities and specific challenges they face.
Regional healthcare problems during and after a natural disaster.
Unique and ingenious solutions that Haitians have come up with to counteract the deficiencies in the medical infrastructure.
The steps organizations like HEHDO are taking to rebuild the healthcare infrastructure in Haiti to be more resilient to natural disasters.

We wish to inform everyone who visits our website and is curious about our cause regarding the healthcare problems and challenges Haitians are facing. And no one understands these ground realities better than Haitians and the people working for nonprofits like HEHDO that are actively engaged in solving those problems as best as they can. So we encourage blogs from both of these groups as well as from medical professionals that aim to share practical solutions that may be helpful for the people of Haiti in improving their healthcare infrastructure.

We also have blogs for the people of New York, especially the ones belonging to the underserved communities that need help and guidance regarding the healthcare system. We aim to educate and inform these individuals and cast a wider net of useful information than we can deliver in person.

Health Education

The medical equipment and supplies on the ground are only helpful if the people there know how to utilize them. Primary health education and rudimentary training can prepare the population for natural disasters and country-wide emergencies.

Medical Transportation

Ambulances equipped with the necessary medical supplies and modified to navigate the terrain are essential for moving the injured and the sick safely to the hospitals.

Clinics and Health Centers in Rural Haiti

We aim to establish clinics equipped with basic first-aid and emergency medical response kits in areas farthest away from population centers and hospitals.
