Prioritizing the health of displaced populations and host communities, UNICEF has funded the salaries of 1,000 healthcare professionals in the Artibonite, West, North, South, and South-East departments. This support has ensured that healthcare services remain accessible and of high quality, addressing the critical needs of local populations. Over the past six months, this initiative has enabled more than 50,000 medical consultations, ensuring that vulnerable communities receive essential healthcare services.
“Despite the extremely insecure and volatile environment, UNICEF and partners are stepping up efforts to protect children and families and provide the lifesaving support they desperately need,” said Bruno Maes, UNICEF Representative in Haiti.
“Working closely with local partners in Port-au-Prince and beyond, we’ve been able to reach even the most inaccessible areas recently. However, if the current situation persists, it could jeopardize all our operations. Urgent measures are needed to secure access and ensure continued aid delivery,” he concluded.
UNICEF is dedicated to providing both immediate and long-term support to Haiti’s most vulnerable populations. These initiatives have been made possible thanks to the support of the EU Humanitarian Aid and the US Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance.
