Haiti State of Emergency June 2024 Report

By Aicha Belabbes | Annual Giving Coordinator

Dear Friends,

Thank you so much for your contribution to Partners In Health’s response to the earthquake in Haiti. Your support ensures we remain dedicated to realizing the human right to health care!

Immediately after the earthquake Partners In Health (PIH) and our sister organization in Haiti, Zanmi Lasante (ZL), mobilized a response to this devastating emergency by deploying clinicians and supplies to the earthquake zone, transferring critically injured patients to PIH/ZL-supported health facilities, supporting the emergency response needs of long term partners based in the affected areas, and preparing for the long-term impact on Haiti’s health sector following this emergency.

Now, another crisis is intensifying in Haiti with political turmoil and gun violence endangering the lives of residents and making basic tasks like finding food and clean water a difficult, if not impossible, task.

Even with its extraordinary commitment, ZL is facing urgent challenges to maintain essential clinical services. With roads and transportation blocked, it is increasingly difficult to get lifesaving supplies to our sites and the costs of doing so are increasing. In addition, ZL is seeing increasing needs to support our staff with a focus on their mental health and communities who face daily challenges with food and safe housing. The ZL team persists in their commitment to identifying solutions and overcoming challenges, all the while expressing deep concern about how the prolonged instability hampers provision of quality care. Fuel, which is essential to maintain hospital operations, including production of medical oxygen, has skyrocketed in price. We were able to obtain supplies to reopen the Nourimanba factory, which provides essential food to malnourished children. But we need your support to make sure our ZL staff can keep supporting their patients.

On behalf of those we serve, thank you for your support and partnership in pursuit of equitable health systems that can fulfill the right to health care for all.

In Solidarity,

Partners In Health

Responding to Haiti's next crisis

By Aicha Belabbes | Development Coordinator, Annual Giving

Dear Friends,

Thank you so much for your contribution to Partners In Health’s response to the earthquake in Haiti. Your support ensures we remain dedicated to realizing the human right to health care!

Now, Haiti is in the midst of another crisis with political turmoil and gang violence endangering the lives of residents and making basic tasks like finding food and clean water a difficult, if not impossible, task.

With 44% of the population facing major food insecurity, the worsening food crisis has left the country with the heaviest burden of hunger and malnutrition in the Western Hemisphere. PIH/ZL has set up mobile medical clinics to address mailnutrition and also provide clean water, sanitation and hygiene supplies, vaccinations, and medical care. The mobile clinic team delivered services in the face of enormous challenges, from gas shortages and vehicle issues to gang activity, kidnappings and the personal mental toll. These results are a testament to their commitment and resolve.

On behalf of those we serve, thank you for your support and partnership in pursuit of equitable health systems that can fulfill the right to health care for all.

In Solidarity,

Partners In Health

Dear Friends,

Thank you so much for your contribution to Partners In Health’s response to the earthquake in Haiti. Your support ensures we remain dedicated to realizing the human right to health care!

Partners In Health (PIH) and our sister organization in Haiti, Zanmi Lasante (ZL), have mobilized an immediate response to this devastating emergency by deploying clinicians and supplies to the earthquake zone, transferring critically injured patients to PIH/ZL-supported health facilities, supporting the emergency response needs of long term partners based in the affected areas, and preparing for the long-term impact on Haiti’s health sector following this emergency. PIH/ZL’s emergency response centers on partnership with the Haitian Ministry of Health and support that reinforces local partners and the broader public health system in Haiti.

PIH/ZL continues to gather information about the extent of injuries, critical needs, and local partner capacity to hone its response to the most urgent needs following the earthquake. PIH/ZL will continue to adapt its activities to remain nimble to the evolving needs and priorities that arise and uphold our organizational commitment to reinforcing the long-term resilience of health systems for all Haitians.

In continuation of our emergency response and more immediate investment in facilities and care delivery, PIH/ZL will grow formalized training programs over a longer-term 12-month period to ensure Haiti has the capacity and trained staff to be prepared to respond to any future disaster.

On behalf of those we serve, thank you for your support and partnership in pursuit of equitable health systems that can fulfill the right to health care for all.
