Present Situation
Currently patients walk great distances to reach the CME facility in search of adequate health care.
Over the next decade road improvements will provide easier travel routes for a southern population of over two million (2M) people. As such, the demand for medical services at CME will increase exponentially resulting in excessive strain on the facility. At present, there are no other facilities in that region to support the demand for minimum health care needs.
Notably, the southern population of Haiti is economically marginalized. Living is at a subsistence level;
the majority of which are women who tend to be the
central cohesive source of family structure in Haiti.
Renovate CME Main facility
Plan, build, and improve the CME medical
facilities to support the present and future
health care needs through innovative programs
in the following areas:
OB/GYN
Surgical intervention
Pediatric
Administration
Clinical area (in and out patients)
Emergency section
Patients recovery section
Support and maintenance
Technical Education
Technical education is an essential support
ingredient for the infrastructure of the
medical system training nurses, medical
technicians, administrative support, etc.). It
is imperative that we support local schools
to train potential students that could benefit
CME and other medical facilities.
Satellite Clinical Facilities
It is also imperative that CME support satellite
clinics to be managed by a certified
nurse and taffed by qualified midwife.
These clinics will provide medical care to
surrounding communities such as routine
check ups, minor injuries, routine gynecology,
low-risk child births, neonatal care;
etc. Additionally, the satellite facilities provide
clinical experience for medical students
as well as other medical-support staff.
