iciHaiti - WHO/PAHO : Emergency response in 41 displaced sites
06/09/2024 10:26:38

The intensification of armed violence in the South of the capital has forced thousands of families to flee and take refuge in several sites around Léogâne. Faced with this situation, WHO-Haiti intervened in support of the Ministry of Public Health to provide an emergency response to the most vulnerable.

As the first barriers against the spread of epidemics, 17 epidemiological watchmen and 16 hygienists were trained in the prevention and detection of diseases in 8 new sites, housing more than 10,000 people.

PAHO now supports the Ministry in a total of 41 sites in the Metropolitan area of Port-au-Prince.
