Today, CAN is present in 7 departments with about 700 employees across the country and 72 ambulances in total (with their medical staff) has grown from a single service to a autonomous Directorate General.

Centre staff (53% women) demonstrated unparalleled dedication. Tireless, employees take turns working 24/7 to serve the Haitian people and save as many lives as possible.
