Haiti’s health system faces major challenges: too few trained professionals, limited facilities, difficult transportation, and shortages of medicines and supplies. As a result, many Haitians lack timely, reliable care—sometimes with tragic consequences.

For more than a century, CMMB Haiti has invested in expanding healthcare access. Since CMMB’s Bishop Joseph M. Sullivan Center for Health opened in Côtes-de-Fer in 2017, more than 70,000 people in the region have gained access to quality antenatal, delivery, postnatal, pediatric, surgical, dental, and other critical services. To improve care in Côtes-de-Fer, CMMB Haiti provides emergency transport, trains local staff, and supports community health workers to carry out home health visits.
