Outpatient Clinic
Attends to 100 children daily. There is a symbolic fee of 10¢ for services, but it is often waived because most people cannot afford it. If the child is admitted to the Emergency Room, the parent is required to stay with the child 24/7 and the average stay is three days. If a child is admitted to a ward, infectious or noninfectious, then the parent can visit and does not have to stay overnight.Tuberculosis
Treats both Pulmonary TB and Extra-Pulmonary TB and is for children 14 years and younger. Those under six receive six months of treatment while those between 6-14 years of age receive eight months. Both age groups start with an initial two month in-patient treatment and medications are provided by Haiti’s National Program Against TB.

Maternity
Serves high-risk mothers with a staff of 56, including eight obstetrician/gynocologists, seven anethesiologists, and 12 midwives. There is close collaboration with the St. Luke Manitane Pre-natal clinic and St. Luke Outreach Clinics in the extremely impoverished, densely populated communities of Port-au-Prince, which are known to be among the poorest and most dangerous in the Western Hemisphere.

Neonatology
Treats our highest risk newborns.

Malnutrition
Was started in order to combat Haiti’s alarmingly high rate of malnutrition (17,500 children under the age of five were reported to be acutely malnourished before the earthquake on January 12, 2010). The program runs for six weeks, and provides patients with food packages consisting of a combination of F100 (a dried high-energy milk that is fortified with a mix of vitamins and minerals) and Plumpy Nut (a combination of peanut paste, vegetable oil, powdered milk, powdered sugar, vitamins, and minerals). Children are followed through weekly consultations to monitor progress.

Radiology
A digital machine performs 400 x-rays a month and is capable of sending images across the Internet to an external radiologist in the U.S. or Europe. More than 90% of all x-rays are pictures of the chest to exam the lungs for respiratory tract infections.

Pediatric Oncology/Hematology Center
Established in 2006, the Center treats both solid tumor and blood cancers (such as leukemia, lymphoma, retinoblastoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, osteosarcoma, Wilms, Hepatoblastoma, Neuroblastoma, ovarian, testicular) as well as hematological diseases (such as aplastic anemia). Chemotherapy and surgical interventions are provided on-site and radiation therapy is provided in the Dominican Republic. The Center works closely with St. Jude’s Medical Center in the U.S., and is an international affiliate.

Surgery
Composed of two surgical suites, a recovery room, prep room, and a sterile changing area. The staff of 15 includes two physicians, four nurses, two nursing assistants, and three technicians. Around 360 surgeries are performed yearly and include colostomy, hypospadias, hydrochephelus, hernias, and oncology referrals. Teams of surgeons visit four times a year and perform an additional 160 surgeries annually. Non-emergency surgery is performed Monday through Friday, while emergency surgery is performed seven days a week.

Laboratory
Has the capacity to do many essential tests, including malaria blood smears, HIV, and sickle cell. On average, about 1,500 hematologic exams and more than 4,000 bacteriological exams are conducted monthly.

Pharmacy
Supplies drugs, medical supplies, and items to the patient rooms and out-patients. While some essential drugs are produced and purchased in Haiti, most medications and supplies are imported from Action Medeor, a specialist supplier for charities in Germany. The hospital pharmacy team receives supervision, support and training from an international volunteer pharmacist from Germany through communication and annual visits.
