Healthcare in Haiti

Healthcare in Haiti[edit | edit source]

Haiti, a Caribbean country located on the island of Hispaniola, has a complex healthcare system. The healthcare sector in Haiti is characterized by a mix of public, private, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Despite facing numerous challenges, including a lack of resources and infrastructure, Haiti has several top hospitals and healthcare institutions that provide essential services to the population.

The public healthcare system in Haiti is managed by the Ministry of Public Health and Population (MSPP). The MSPP operates several hospitals and healthcare facilities across the country. However, the public healthcare system faces significant challenges, including a lack of funding, inadequate infrastructure, and a shortage of healthcare professionals.
