Haiti

Haiti has the highest prevalence of maternal mortality, infant mortality, and HIV infection in the Western Hemisphere. Primary public health problems include HIV/AIDS, respiratory infections, and perinatal conditions, including low birth weight and birth trauma.

 

Direct Relief has provided medical material assistance to Haiti , focusing on primary health care and basic medical supplies. Direct Relief’s work in Haiti to provide emergency obstetric care reflects the organization’s worldwide commitment to reducing maternal mortality rates.
