Since 2001, Konbit Sante has been working in the greater Cap-Haitien area to improve the quality of care for its 25,000 residents. To accomplish this, we have partnered with four major health-care facilities in the Cap-Haitien area to identify and remedy the needs that compromise the quality of care.
One of our partner facilities is Haiti Convention Baptist Hospital (HCBH), managed by Haiti Hope Action and registered with the Haitia Ministry of Health. HCBH operates a spinal cord rehabiltation center, which was founded to help the hundreds of people who received spinal cord injuries in the 2010 earthquake. Today, it not only provides physical rehabiltation, it offers job placement services to its patients. This enables them to lead full, productive lives in a country where they would most likely be homeless, panhandling for food.
Konbit Sante purchases essential supplies and medicines for its partner facilities at lowest possible cost, and endeavors to fill three shipping containers per year. These containers contain everything from hospital beds and examination tables to emergency medical supplies and warming tables for premature infants. We only provide supplies that are requested and needed by our partners to ensure that nothing goes to waste.
