Dear Friend,
On behalf of all our staff and patients, thank you for your generous giving to Partners In Health! We are so grateful for your partnership and your commitment to our mission.
Since October 2022, Haiti has faced escalating violence, gang wars, scarcity of gasoline and political unrest. On top of that, there’s been a nationwide cholera epidemic with more than 26,000 suspected cases of the water-borne illness reported across the country.
The strategy of Zanmi Lasante (ZL) (as Partners In Health is known in Haiti) since the resurgence of cholera includes providing care and support to the sick and public health educations in communities. Thus, in partnership with others, such as the Ministry of Public Health and Population and Haiti’s National Water and Sanitation Agency, ZL has been able to quickly set up equipment and personnel to help reduce the burden of cholera in its various sites.
Until February, ZL had established 13 cholera treatment sites across 11 cities in order to take care of those affected, including the site near Borneau. Thus, 5,581 patients have been treated and 73,348 vaccines were administered since October 2022. However, ZL still needs to strengthen community response with personnel, products, medicines, and materials.
Your transformative gift could not have come at a more important time for PIH. Our community is in need of more care than ever. On behalf of our staff and patients in 11 countries worldwide, thank you for choosing to support Partners In Health!
In Solidarity,
Partners In Health
