Last week(March 2008) we went to Paillant(Mr Henri Jabon, my wife and I) again to go over the work done sofar for the expansion of the hospital with this operating suite and clinic.

We were very happy with the work done sofar under our collegue: dr Charles Antoine Louis’s supervision.

We still have a way to go but at least the foundation and some walls are there.

We met with electrician, plumber, doctors and nurses.

We spend Easter Sunday giving clothes to some needy in the area, our best Easter ever.

Haiti Help Med Plus is a very special charity effort being directed by SCMS member Dr. Ralph Gousse.

HHMP is bringing hope and improved medical care to the back country of Haiti — the poorest country in the western hemisphere (where over 40% of the population have no healthcare). HHMP has made great progress in transforming a health clinic into a 10 bed hospital to provide basic maternity, medicine, pediatric, laboratory and radiological services. Their next step is building operating and radiology rooms — which will require around $30,000 to complete.

SCMS encourages our physicians and office personnel to help HHMP raise the funds they need. Office staffs can enjoy watching the hospital grow, and seeing what their contributions helped accomplish. Pictures of the hospital and people who will benefit are on the HHMP website or the hospital’s progress can be followed via pictures to be put on the SCMS website over the next year.
