This is the entrance to the new physiotherapy center for children that opened in March 2009. This mission is a real blessing to the poor as they do not charge for their services. It is located in the Tabarre area. This week we brought Mykerson for his first physiotherapy appointment. He is 4 years old and has cerebral palsy. This center will teach the mother how best to look after her child.
On the opposite corner is Hopital Nos Petit Freres et Soeurs (Our Little Brother and Sister Hospital). This children's hospital also offers free care for hospitalization and provides excellent care. They also run a pediatric aids and tuberculosis program here.
Also in the same area is the Institute des Maladies Infectieuses et Sante de la Reproduction (Infectious Diseases Center). This organization provides HIV and Tuberculosis treatment programs. Haiti's HIV program is improving yearly with assistance from other countries.
On a sidestreet off of Delmas 19 is Hopital Trinite, which is where Medecins Sans Frontieres - France (Doctors without Borders) runs this trauma hospital. In 2010 Medecins Sans Frontieres will be closing this trauma program. Now that Haiti is officially not considered as a country at war Medecins Sans Frontieres will be going to other war torn countries. Haiti will be missing their excellent care. The public health system is still in bad shape. Pray they change their mind!
This is the entrance to Healing Hands. This mission offers physical therapy, prosthetics and orthotics as well as having orthopedic doctors who provide consultations. A lot of physiotherapy teams from Canada and the United States help out here and in the community. We go here a lot too as they are in charge of all hydrocephalus dossiers and follow-up.
