Training and mobilizing young leaders to improve healthcare and save lives
Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Presently, on a national level, there is a shortage of health care professionals in Haiti. This shortage has been detrimental to the lives of Haitian residents for many years and post- earthquake health care efforts mirror this concern. Enormous change is needed to rebuild the country but most importantly to strengthen its health care delivery system. We are a group of professionals dedicated to bring health education reform to Haiti.
