Haiti’s health systems face enormous challenges. With few trained health professionals, limited health facilities, poor transportation, and a lack of supplies and medicines, many people in Haiti go without healthcare—often with tragic outcomes.
CMMB Haiti has been working to improve healthcare access for more than a century. Since CMMB’s Bishop Joseph M. Sullivan Center for Health opened in 2017, over 75,000 people in Côtes-de-Fer now have access to quality healthcare—including vital antenatal, delivery, postnatal, and pediatric services. To improve the local health system in Côtes-de-Fer and other remote areas, CMMB Haiti provides emergency transport vehicles, trains local staff, and works with community health workers to carry out home health visits.
