Effects Of Natural Disasters

  • Due to lack of electricity and alternative energy sources, people constantly cut trees for cooking causing the area to be more vulnerable to negative effects of natural disasters. Just as prior hurricanes, on September 28, 2016, hurricane Matthew wiped away homes, and plantations all over Haiti.
  • Severely affected by the earthquake on 8/14/21 at 8:35 AM, Fond-Tortue was left with 43 homes completely collapsed; 1116 homes mildly to moderately damaged; and 23 deaths excluding the missing.
  • Fond-Tortue’s problems are enormous complex to resolve. Considering these facts, we are kindly presenting to you this project the community urgently needs resolving.

Healthcare System Insights

  • For years the people of Fond-Tortue have been enduring a lack of healthcare services. Considering the location, and the absence of infrastructure, the population is faced with multiples unsolved health issues and even deaths at times. It’s common practice to walk 3-4 hours to reach basic health care. “Bonne Fin” is the main hospital located about 2.5 hours driving commute. Many deceased on the way to “Bonne-Fin” while riding a motorcycles, horses, or donkeys.
  • The most common conditions include Hypertension, Urinary Tract Infections, Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, Integumentary conditions, Anemia, Coronary Artery Disease, and Diabetes, Upper Respiratory Infections… With motorcycles being the most common access to travel, motorcycle accidents frequently lead to musculoskeletal injuries.
  • Healthcare professionals very often treat signs and symptoms by experience, not by lab studies. A functioning healthcare facility in Fond-Tortue is urgently needed to help those in need. Note that most healthcare services are received from Mobile clinics which don’t happen so often.
