You Can Help St. Damien Pediatric Hospital Provide Lifesaving Care to Babies, Children, and Mothers

The tragic consequences of tremendous inequity in health care access, especially among children, are morally unjustifiable. In Haiti, where nearly 1 in every 18 Haitian children die before their fifth birthday, NPH’s St. Damien Pediatric Hospital is a lifesaver.

An escalation in gang activity and civil unrest is hurling the nation into turmoil. Extremely high rates of illness, suffering, and premature death require medical care and intervention and yet Haiti’s healthcare systems are in a state of collapse. Only about two out of every five hospitals in Haiti are operational and all must rely upon international aid to serve patients.

St. Damien is the nation’s premier pediatric and high-risk maternity hospital, and the only one that provides specialized pediatric cancer care. On average, staff provide about 50,000 medical services a year to children, expectant mothers, and newborns.

These nurses and doctors are doing heroic works, but they are responding to needs they cannot answer without support.

Mothers and fathers want nothing but a brighter future for their children but without  St. Damien Pediatric Hospital, quality health care is inaccessible or unaffordable.

St. Damien acts as a lifeline for countless women and children in desperate need, and funding relies 100% on the compassion and generosity of people like you. Without you, thousands are at risk of suffering or premature death.

St. Damien is one of the few hospitals that offer specialized oncology, cardiac, HIV/AIDs, sickle cell disease, epilepsy, renal, dental, and emergency care.
