key pillar: healthcare

HEALTH IS THE FOUNDATION TO FORWARD MOVEMENT

GENERATIONS OF CARE The Centre Medical Beraca hospital has been in existence for over 70 years, and serves a population of over 700,000 local people.

We believe the best way to save lives is through localized healthcare that takes into consideration the realities and experiences of the population being served and pairs it with innovative, community-based solutions that offer both long-term and life-changing resolutions. Everyone should have access to healthcare regardless of the financial status.

CMB was founded in the 1940’s and serves a population of 700,000+. Facilities like CMB are vital when only 8% of the the rural population has access to quality healthcare facilities. With a life expectancy of 63 years old, and less than half of Haitian children getting basic immunizations, places like CMB are literally lifesaving.

CMB treats an average of 200 patients per day and offers care in the following areas: Internal Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics-Gynecology, and Pediatrics. There are also numerous public health and prevention programs for community advancement. 

We also believe that you do not have to reinvent the wheel is an effort to accomplish your goals. Teaming up with similar minded organizations allows for an extended reach to the population served, and it is an effective way to minimize overheads ensuring funds get where they need to be to make the most impact. This is why we have chosen to partner with CMB in La Pointe Haiti to support this key pillar of our mission.

 

MATERNITY WARD

With 75% of women in Northern Haiti receiving no care from trained professionals during pregnancy, a maternity ward was high on the priority list for the region. In 2018, with the partnership of La Pointe Foundation, and other generous organizations, CMB added a maternity center to this population offering 24/7 obstetrical care, truly saving lives of women and children throughout La Pointe. Women from all over travel hours upon hours, through rivers, and over mountains to receive care here. With over 125 deliveries each month, this safe place is an encouragement for families who would otherwise have no prenatal or post delivery care.
