🛎️ As violence continues to escalate across Haiti 🇭🇹, PAHO is calling for the urgent protection of medical facilities and health services. With armed groups targeting healthcare centers, the country’s already fragile healthcare system is under unprecedented strain, severely affecting access to essential medical care. PAHO is working closely with Haiti’s Ministry of Public Health and Population (MSPP) and other humanitarian partners to provide support. In 2024, PAHO delivered more than 38 tons of essential medicines and medical supplies to support the continuity of services in operational health facilities and facilitated the mobilization of MSPP mobile clinics, which have provided over 9,000 consultations in Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) sites. PAHO's response operations are made possible through collaborations with partners such as the United Nations Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF), the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the European Union, and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). ℹ️ Read more: https://lnkd.in/e2_TTYNX
