![]() Haiti - Health : Launch of project «Manman ak timoun an sante» in Port-au-Prince 15/09/2011 14:35:06
The President Michel Martelly, PAHO Assistant Director Socorro Gross, and Canada's Ambassador Henri-Paul Normandin will join other government and international officials to launch the project, this Thursday, during a conference at the Karibe Hotel in Port-au-Prince. The project "Manman ak timoun an sante" represents a concrete effort and commitment of the Ministry of Health of Haiti, Canada, PAHO/WHO, and other partners to improve the health of Haitians, with women and children as a priority. Canada has provided CAD$20 million to support the project. "Manman ak timoun an sante" is the continuation and extension of two joint efforts: the Free Obstetric Care project, known as SOG, which began in 2008, and the Free Child Care project, known as SIG, which started after the earthquake that devastated Haiti in January 2010. The project aims to strengthen the Haitian health system, develop a sustainable financing mechanism that could be the basis for a new national protection system, and improve the health of women and children by providing free prenatal care for pregnant women and health services for children under 5. "Manman ak timoun an sante" will be implemented in the entire country through performance-based contracts with up to 90 health institutions. The implementation will be progressive. Initially a minimum package of health services will be offered to pregnant women and children, while linking the secondary level of the health system to primary health care and creating strong links to ongoing efforts by other health partners.
