Global Presence

Running nine years, HS-2004 targeted vulnerable populations in Haiti to provide equal access to primary and reproductive health services. Additionally, the program developed health services to be more self-sufficient and eventually sustainable without the influence of NGOs. Achievements of the expansive program include expanding access to quality health services through the network of 32 NGOs and FBOs to over 3 million people, reaching, within this population 90 percent immunization rate, 11 percent increase in contraceptive use after the first phase of the program, 17 percent increase in "three plus" prenatal visits after phase one, and 16 percent increase in attended deliveries after phase one. Thousands of service providers were trained in clinical and management topics, a Haitian network of trainers was established, as was an independent consortium to support short-term training needs in health over the long term.
