Remote Area Medical® (RAM) returned to Haiti on September 12, 2019 for another successful expedition despite numerous obstacles. RAM staff and volunteers made the difficult trek to Hinche after overcoming flight delays, lost luggage, illness, and a ground transportation fuel shortage. Along the way, they encountered vehicles that had succumbed to the treacherous mountainside terrain.
