Haitian Ministries' Clinic Visit

Today we had the opportunity of visiting the Haitian Ministries' clinic in Lassoudray. The organization also supports a clinic in nearby Labruyere, which is run by the same medical staff. The two nurses and administrator alternate between the locations, serving the Lassoudray community on Tuesdays and Thursdays and the Labruyere community on Mondays and Fridays. On any particular day they transport essential equipment and supplies back and forth between the clinics.

This system appears to work well for both the staff and communities as the distance between the clinics is manageable for the staff and the residents do not have to travel such long distances if they need primary medical care services.

We arrived during a busy clinic session as 10 – 15 people awaited care. A big thank you to the staff for accommodating us in the midst of this and we hope to help them in the immediate future with much needed supplies and over time with continued collaboration and dialogue.
