Our staff in Port-au-Prince has been working tirelessly to develop hurricane relief kits for our cancer patients and their families. In the coming days and weeks, our efforts will continue to focus on providing support to them.

In partnership with Haiti Air Ambulance (HAA), IHI has been on the ground in the south of Haiti after Hurricane Matthew swept through the region. The team of physicians at HAA and IHI were the first to visit Port-Salut and Jeremie since the hurricane passed on Thursday, October 6. The hospitals in Les Cayes, Jeremie, and Port-Salut are functioning and, so far, the patients have mostly presented with illnesses independent of the hurricane. There are a lot of injuries; however,

Hurricane Matthew is making its way to Haiti. The National Weather Service reports that the southern region of Haiti will be hit with 25 to 40 inches of rain. We will be in Jeremie to help as soon as the rain stops. Beginning Wednesday, IHI will be partnering with Haiti Air Ambulance to provide hurricane relief. You can help us provide relief by donating today. Any amount will help those affected by the hurricane. Click here to donate today.
