Haiti Health Systems 2007 (HS-2007) Project
Project Date: 2004–2007
HS-2007 is a follow-on project for the successful HS-2004. The project plans to further move Haiti from a FBO/NGO-dependent system to a balanced national system through fair access to basic reproductive, maternal, and child health services, and reduction in the transmission of infectious diseases. MSH will also work with the departmental leadership to establish integrated service networks in each department (drawing on both public and private service providers), with the goal of expanding access to quality health services to the underserved population.
Service statistics in the areas of Haiti not reached by HS 2004 are discouraging. The new HS 2007 project specifically targets expansion into these underserved areas with the help of the public sector and local nongovernmental (NGO) and faith based organizations (FBO).
The HS 2007 team has a defined mandate to use performance-based approaches to support capacity development in Haiti to provide HIV/AIDS services (VCT/ PMTCT/ART). MSH staff serve as technical advisors to: nongovernmental and faith based organizations, and to the Haitian Ministry of Health Unit of Control & Coordination (UCC) /National Program to Combat HIV/AIDS, and coordinates the implementation of the US-funded President's Emergency Plan program in Haiti (which will invest approximately $40 million in Haiti in 2005).
HS 2007 continues to provide reproductive and child health services to the people of Haiti, along with expanding the programmatic treatment and controlled transmission of TB and HIV/AIDS. Building on what was accomplished in HS 2004, MSH is helping Haiti develop and expand health service capacity so that Haitian families and communities can benefit from an available and integrated package of health services that are of consistent high quality-delivered in a sustainable, affordable, and cost efficient manner.
