We are proud of how we have been able to take our place with a national team that has brought Covid-19 under remarkable control in Haiti, allowing us to grow the reach of our services. From the start of the Covid-19 pandemic in March, we have partnered with the Haitian Global Health Alliance (GHESKIO) centers and the Haitian Ministry of Public Health and Population (MSPP) in the development of an intensive, 2-day training program on the prevention and management of Covid-19.
To date, 862 individuals have participated in these trainings. Participants include nurses, physicians, social workers, field workers, support personnel, psychologists, teachers, sex workers, and others. These activities have helped us:
- Promote public health by teaching effective practices to prevent disease transmission through a focus on hygiene
- Further our core mission of strengthening the capacity of nurses to act as transformational healthcare leaders
- Expand our network of nurses and other healthcare partners,
Our work during the pandemic was highlighted in an article published in the New Humanitarian in June; the article was also featured on the website of the Ashoka Foundation.
