HEALTH ISSUES
HACAOT has joined with a group of volunteer medical doctors from the US to implement a medical mission program to assist the people of Haiti and provide them free medical services and medications. The program also has a dual purpose to provide valuable practical medical experience to US medical staff that have never been exposed to tropical cases. Along with local Haitian doctors our HACAOT medical staff use this opportunity to exchange medical knowledge and the latest technology while serving the people of Haiti.
HACAOT’s US medical staff has been working in Haiti for the past 10 years and officially with HACAOT for the past four years. Medications are donated by local US hospitals and pharmaceutical organizations sponsoring our annual medical missions. HACAOT has been conducting medical missions in Haiti since 2007 and we conduct our missions with the most professional staff who know how to prepare and execute a mission with the same efficiency as any small military deployment.
During our medical missions medical data is collected to study the evolution and impact of our medical services in the communities we are serving. HACAOT conducts its missions jointly with local health organizations and occasionally with the Red Cross in Haiti.
We are currently working and negotiating with a US organization for the construction of a multi-service compound which will include a clinic, a school, a cafeteria, a maintenance support facility ; a radio broadcasting station and a residential building. The compound will be self-sufficient and provide free medical and education services to the people in the surrounding community. Our radio broadcasting station will broadcast education programs, development programs, civic programs and medical programs to the entire region.
A 2 hectares site has been identified for the construction of the complex in the locality of Dondon in the north of Haiti about 1.5 hours drive from Cap Haitien.
