Today marked a very special celebration for the Canadian Red Cross and Haitian Red Cross. Almost four years after the January 2010 earthquake, as a part of the Canadian Red Cross’ Haitian Integrated Health Program, the cornerstone at the Saint-Michel hospital in Jacmel was laid.
Working with the Ministry of Public Health and Population, and with financial support of the American Red Cross, the hospital reconstruction project aims to build back a better healthcare system to improve the health of vulnerable groups, which include mothers, children, and those affected by the earthquake.
This is the beginning of phase one of three reconstruction phases of the Saint-Michel hospital. The photo above is a scale model of the hospital.
