Haiti - Health : Moïse on tour in several hospitals
Tuesday, President Jovenel Moïse, accompanied by the new Minister of Health, Dr. Marie Greta Roy Clément and the new Minister of the Interior and Local Government, Max Rudolph Saint-Albin, visited several hospitals in order to inquire about the state of progress of some in construction and operating conditions for others.
The Head of State visited, among other the Fontamara Hospital Center, 80% completed, which will be for officers of the National Police of Haiti (PNH) https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-20492-haiti-security-moise-to-the-27th-pnh-promotion.html as well as the Community Health Center and Notre Dame du Perpétuel Secours Hospital, both located in Bon Repos, in the commune of Croix-des-Bouquets and others under construction or nearing completion.
At the conclusion of his tour President Moïse declared "Most of these hospitals attest to a serious human resource problem. Equipment often available does not have technicians to maneuver or repair them. Some centers have been completed, but political instability has prevented them from functioning normally."
Jovenel Moïse reiterated his commitment to work towards putting Haitian hospitals in working conditions and expressed his conviction that the State and health authorities must combine their efforts to strengthen the national health system.
