Please accept our sincere gratitude for your support of Partners In Health, and our work to build and improve health systems in Haiti. Your support of our University Hospital project in Mirebalais, Haiti has equipped us with the resources needed to provide specialized care and treatment that was not previously available in Haiti’s public health system. We’re excited to share the above photograph with you, highlighting an important partnership with a fellow health care organization:
At University Hospital in Mirebalais, Haiti, PIH and sister organization Zanmi Lasante clinical staff are partnering with The International Children’s Heart Foundation (ICHF) on their first trip to Mirebalais to perform pediatric cardiac surgery. ICHF brings the necessary staff and stuff (medication, surgical supplies, equipment) to support this type of surgery while focusing on building local capacity by training surgeons, nurses, and medical staff in the hospitals where they work.
During their 2-week visit, the teams will focus on correcting two general types of heart issues: congenital heart conditions; and valvular heart disease.
