PROGRAM SUPPORT OPPORTUNITIES:
Mobile Santè Program: outreach clinics led by HUFH's staff of Haitian doctors, nurses, community health workers and support staff, deliver lifesaving health care to communities most in need, typically visiting 2 communities weekly, seeing about 100 patients, mostly children, on each clinic day.
Annual budget $34,900. Average cost to treat each patient: $10
Fighting Malnutrition - Medika Mamba Program: treats more than 600 children each year who are severely malnourished. Education spreads through the community, lowering the malnutrition rate for entire villages.
Annual budget $68,000. Average cost to treat each child: $96
Clean Water Program: each water well provides access to fresh and clean water for approximately 4000 people for more than 35 years, in turn preventing waterborne disease, including cholera. Community education ensures water safety and well maintenance. Wells built to date: 15; 16th under construction now.
Average cost per well to build, maintain and educate: $4,500.
Annual budget for additional education and maintenance: $5,000.
Prenatal Care, Education and Nutrition Program, including Helping Babies Survive (HBS): reduces Haiti's infant and maternal mortality rates, the highest in the Western Hemisphere, by providing monthly check-ups and education for expectant mothers. Our HBS program trains traditional birth attendants in newborn resuscitation skills and in how to recognize danger signs in the first 48 hours after birth, and teaches local medical professionals to be teachers in their own country. To date, all live births. Trained to date 850 traditional birth attendants; 375 medical professionals.
Annual budget $30,000.
Kairam Klinic Byen Bèbè: well-baby preventative care program for newborns to 1 year, about 400 annually at 4 sites. Infants in the program are examined regularly and treated as needed. By promoting good nutritional and health practices for newborns, we can ensure they will never need to enroll in our malnutrition program. This initiative builds a health care bridge for our communities: providing care during pregnancy, right through childbirth into infancy, and then into childhood.
Annual budget $14,900.
Follow Up and Surgical Care: covers the medical and surgical costs for children with life-threatening illnesses; approximately 50 each year need hospital care and 15 need surgery.
Annual budget $11,600. $200 - $400 pays for the average emergency hospital care or emergency surgery a child needs.
Saving Vision: provides vision saving screening at mobile santè clinics, and treatment and surgeries for 200 patients each year, including surgery and consults, in a region with few ophthalmologists, and provides advanced training to local providers.
Annual budget $6,000. Cost for cataract surgery $75; cost for glaucoma consult $25; cost for simple consult $5
Hypertension Screen and Treat: to combat the often fatal public health effects of severe and unrecognized hypertension, trains local health care providers in a simple easy-to-use protocol and provides the necessary supplies and medications.
Annual budget $11,000. Cost per screen and treat: $30
Nursing Education: provides education and supplies to entire classes of nursing students, who in turn become caregivers in remote communities.
Annual budget: Education is included within specific program budgets.
