Women's Health
The primary goal of Konbit Sante's work in women's health is to improve maternal outcomes in Cap-Haitien. Our efforts work to meet women's needs on multiple levels, from providing education and outreach at the community level to improving emergency response time at the regional referral hospital.

Child Health
Konbit Sante's child health initiatives, to date, have focused on improving inpatient care at the region's largest public teaching hospital, strengthening the pediatric residency program which will develop the next generation of caregivers, and reaching into the community to follow patients after discharge from Justinian's inpatient feeding program.

Community Health Outreach
Konbit Sante has hired a team of agents de sante (community health workers) who fill a large gap in the tenuous health system's net by reaching out into the community itself on foot or on bicycles to provide education, prevention, and health services at the community level.

Other Clinical Collaborations
We also support and facilitate a variety of other clinical collaborations between professionals in Haiti & volunteers in the U.S. These collaborations often involve conducting trainings for health providers in Haiti, sponsoring Haitian colleagues to come to the U.S. for training, and acquiring requested material resources.
