OUR WORK
24 x 7
Primary Care
Officially called the Centre de Santé Union de Grand-Gosier, our clinic is located in the southeastern town of Marjofre about five hours by rough jeep roads from Port-au-Prince and three hours by motorcycle from the Dominican border.
The clinic opened in January. 2016 offering consults 5 days a week with one doctor and nurse in attendance. Today, the clinic operates around the clock serving 15,000 residents annually, and our Haitian staff has grown to 16; including doctors, midwives, nurses, lab techs, administrators, and support staff, all with roots in the rural south and borderlands where we serve.
Safe
Birth Center
Haiti has the highest maternal mortality rate in the Americas, according to the Centers for Disease Control. The danger of losing the mother increases the deeper one moves into the countryside where HHP serves.
We created Mezon Nesans Fanmi, a small family birth center and medical residence, for that reason.

WASH
In response to the return of cholera in 2023, the Centre de Santé Union de Grand-Gosier team began a cholera prevention and treatment program. As part of this initiative, they address the shortage of potable water and hygiene in the region.
With funding and guidance from Americares, the team installed a holding tank, a pump house, and a block of family latrines in two communities, Ansekretyen and Mapou. Because of the success of the project, Americares will fund two more WASH programs in 2025.
