The Hôpital Albert Schweitzer Haiti is a hospital in Deschapelles, Haiti. It was established in 1956 by Larry Mellon, who was inspired by Hôpital Albert Schweitzer and the life and philosophy of Albert Schweitzer. In 1947, Larry Mellon, inspired by Albert Schweitzer and his work in Africa at Hôpital Albert Schweitzer, went to medical school at Tulane University with the intention of following in Schweitzers footsteps. He went to Haiti in 1952 on a research trip as part of his medical studies, and during that visit decided to locate the clinic in the Artibonite Valley; he was granted land that was formerly a banana plantation by then president of Haiti, Paul Magloire. He and his wife Gwen opened a Hôpital Albert Schweitzer in Deschapelles, Haiti in 1956. When it opened, the facility had two operating rooms, a laboratory, X-ray facilities, a pharmacy, and had its own water system, electric power, machine and vehicle shops, laundry and food services. By 1970, the facility had grown from 80 to ...

Department of Homeland Security officials acknowledged internally that deported Haitian immigrants may face harm upon returning to their home country due to violent crime and the political instability that has rocked the country in recent months, according to documents obtained by BuzzFeed News.. The political instability in Haiti, which has reached a fever pitch in recent weeks after the opposition partys calls for the president to step down failed, has created another dilemma for the Biden administrations goals to slowly roll back former president Donald Trumps immigration policies while at the same time relying on some of them to prevent people from entering the US at the southern border.. The Biden administration has continued to use a Trump-era border policy to turn back immigrants at the border, including Haitians, much to the chagrin of advocates who point out that it effectively seals the border.. Since March 2020, border officials have used a section of the public health code known ...

We conducted a population-based survey to estimate the prevalence of Plasmodium falciparum infection among persons older than 1 month in the Artibonite Valley of Haiti during the high malaria transmission season in 2006. Results from PCR for 714 persons showed a prevalence of 3.1% for P. falciparum infection.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti, 27 October 2010 - While efforts to contain the cholera epidemic are ongoing in the affected zones of the Artibonite region, UNICEF and its partners have been gearing up for a potential outbreak in Haitis capital, Port-au-Prince.

Haiti Wednesday evening (20 October 2010), English and French media reported a surge in deaths and hospitalization from diarrhea in rural Haiti. The next day officials confirmed an outbreak of cholera. Today (26 October 2010), WHO is reporting 259 confirmed cholera deaths and 3,342 confirmed cholera cases. Confirmation of new cases has slowed in the past 24 hours, but officials expect the numbers to continue to rise, and remain concerned that outbreak could enter the capitals refugee camps. A UN official stated that if the outbreak enters Port-au-Prince, tens of thousands could become ill.. Almost all of the cases have been in Artibonite, a department north of the capital of Port-au-Prince. Haiti is divided into 10 departments, similar to states in the US or provinces in Canada. The outbreaks source has not been identified, but the Artibonite River is widely suspected to be contaminated. Although 5 cases have been identified in the capital, all were originally infected in Artibonite. Early ...

Viewed from a distance, Port-au-Prince seems a pleasant and mellow Caribbean port city: Once one is out on the streets though, the fact that all is not well in Port-au-Prince soon becomes apparent. And the January 12, 2010 earthquake only served to push Haiti closer to the top of the Failed States Index... Destruction, dysfunction…

From the Boston Haitian Reporter, March 2008, page 11) The Twa Zanmi [Three Friends] project- a collaboration between the Haitian American Public Health Initiative, Camera Mosaique of the Haitian Media Network and Institute for Community Inclusion at UMass Boston-has set out to study the immigration experiences of Bostons Haitian community and their struggle to develop a new identity in a new society. Hoping to illustrate how social factors such as poverty, race and education may impact health the project will create a television program chronicling the lives of three Haitian immigrants from different walks of life. The series will feature an educated and successful entrepreneur who loses his independence once he comes to America; an elderly couple who cannot find employment due to language barriers; and a single parent working two to three jobs who have no time for their children. Depression, domestic violence and even suicide plague Haitian communities everywhere and their life circumstances ...

Introduction At least 36 countries are suffering from severe shortages of healthcare workers and this crisis of human resources in developing countries is a major obstacle to scale-up of HIV care. We performed a case study to evaluate a health service delivery model where a task-shifting approach to HIV care had been undertaken with tasks shifted from doctors to nurses and community health workers in rural Haiti. Methods Data were collected using mixed quantitative and qualitative methods at three clinics in rural Haiti. Distribution of tasks for HIV services delivery; types of tasks performed by different cadres of healthcare workers; HIV program outcomes; access to HIV care and acceptability of the model to staff were measured. Results A shift of tasks occurred from doctors to nurses and to community health workers compared to a traditional doctor-based model of care. Nurses performed most HIV-related tasks except initiation of TB therapy for smear-negative suspects with HIV. Community health

This is a collection of birth, marriage, and death records from Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Prior to 1804 Haiti was first claimed by Spain and then granted to France in 1697. During French governance, Haiti was known as Saint-Domingue. Some of the records were created using the Republican Calendar (1792-1806). Please see the website link listed in the Related Website section of this article for information on the Republican Calendar. The records were handwritten in French. Local registry offices create the civil events, such as birth, marriage, and death, of citizens in their jurisdiction. The registrar sends the records to the Ministry of Justice annually, which verifies the records and affixes a seal before transferring them to the National Archives. A copy of the record is also kept at the local registry office or at the Civil Court Clerks Office (Bureau du greffe du Tribunal civil). Unfortunately, a large number of births are not registered in Haiti. The civil registration was created to record ...

Since its creation on May 2, 1982, GHESKIO has been providing free, uninterrupted care to patients with Kaposi Sarcoma (KS) and opportunistic infections (OI) as they presented with KS, OI, or both. This was before the word AIDS was coined to describe this new disease.. In 1985, GHESKIO opened the first Voluntary Counseling and Testing center in Haiti. As the link between HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted infections, tuberculosis, and overall reproductive health became clear, GHESKIO developed a model of comprehensive care for HIV/AIDS and related illnesses. Central to the GHESKIO model is the concept that an individual at risk or already infected with HIV should be quickly identified and provided access to a package of services that include voluntary counseling and testing, management of sexually transmitted infections, tuberculosis screening and treatment, reproductive health services, HIV care including antiretroviral therapy, and services to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV..

was born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, on 26 March 1917 to an elite family. He was introduced to Haitian culture and history by his parents, Elisabeth Fernande Auguste and Edmond Mangonès, the latter a Haitian public servant, collector, and historian. Mangonès traveled to Belgium to attend the Académie Royale de Beaux Arts de Bruxelles and graduated from Cornell University in New York in 1942 with a degree in architecture, receiving the prestigious Sand Goldwin Medal. Afterward Mangònes returned to Haiti to begin a prolific career in architecture, while also becoming involved in Haitis fledging art scene through his close association with the Centre dArt in Port-au-Prince.. Mangonès was the architect of various prominent buildings in mid-twentieth-century Port-au-Prince, including the Théâtre de Verdure (1946), the Cité Militaire (1956-1957), and the Régle du Tabac (1958 Inspired by modernist trends from abroad his geometric architecture would adapt to .... ...

Since that favorable decision from the Commission, Haitian grassroots organizations, MADRE, and members of the Haitian government have worked to implement the Commissions recommendations. Three interactive workshops were held in Port-au-Prince in 2012 and 2013, which brought together representatives from civil society, various sectors of the Haitian government and members of the international human rights community for collaborative dialogues on ways to address gender-based violence in Haiti. Three interactive workshops were held in Port-au-Prince in 2012 and 2013. The third was co-sponsored by the Nobel Womens Initiative and WE ADVANCE, whose co-founder Rebecca Guillaume joins me in Belfast for the Initiatives fourth international conference of women peace activists, Moving Beyond Militarism and War: women-driven solutions for a nonviolent world. The workshops resulted in enhanced cooperation between the Haitian National Police and KOFAVIV. An agreement was reached on the immediate referral ...

2:30-3:45P MW BH208 Topic: Immigrant Experiences from El Paso to Plymouth Rock A portion of the above section reserved for majors Above section open to undergraduates only As we watch the Coast Guard pluck boatloads of Haitian immigrants from dangerously crowded rafts, witness waves of Mexican immigrants pouring nightly over our southwest border in search of work, listen to debates about English-only school curriculums and arguments over deportations, and try to reconcile the promise of the American dream with the reality of an American society that cannot seem to absorb all the immigrants it attracts, it is clear that the story of America is, in large part, the history of immigrants trying to make new lives for themselves here. In order to understand America today, then, we must explore the individual experiences of its immigrants. In this course we will look at several groups of immigrants, but our central focus will be on Mexican immigration in the late twentieth century, Japanese-American ...

Drumpfuck, always the racist, ever the liar......President Donald Trump asked why the United States should accept immigrants from Haiti and African states, which he characterized as shithole countries. Instead, he said he wanted more immigrants from countries such as Norway (he had met with the Norwegian prime minister the previous day). As the New York Times pointed out, this presidential discourse was similar to that in 2017, when he allegedly said that Haitian immigrants all had AIDS and that Nigerians in the United States would never go back to their huts. In the 2017 case, the White House denied that the president ever made those alleged remarks. This time, the White House did not deny what he said on January 11, and it has been confirmed by some members of Congress present. However, in tweets, the president is now saying that this was not the language used. His Deputy Spokesman, and the president himself in after-hours tweets, sought to portray the episode in the context of America ...

The prosecution has begun its case and has done a very good job also.

And they also have a very experienced expert explaining how he knows that she knew the difference from right and wrong. And he highlighted some things that are now in front of the jury.

The most recent reports about Haiti say that Port-Au-Prince, the capital of Haiti, still needs much help. Widespread hunger is a key concern; social problems like child prostitution have reared their ugly heads. These can only be brought under control if basic needs are met. The temporary housing, namely tents, are mostly built on slopes due to the unevenness of the ground post-quake. A flash flood last week destroyed one such housing site. Aid groups are rushing to stabilize living conditions for 200,000 displaced Haitians.. Aid to Haiti must continue and does. Most recently, the British government and public donated GBP121 million and pledged long-term aid..

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti - Elizabeth was exhausted after hours of contractions at the Petite Place Cazeau clinic, in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Finally, with gentle guidance from the midwife, she gave one last push. Stifled cries filled the delivery room. The nurse presented a baby girl to the new mother. Through half-closed eyes, Elizabeth watched as her daughter was cleaned and weighed. Afterward, in a spacious recovery room, she cradled her baby - whom she had named Lisa.

But in other places, theres still not enough. If you leave Port-au-Prince and go into some of the other areas that were hit hard by this earthquake, they havent seen enough medical infrastructure as of yet.

This was our second trip to Boudon today. The drive seemed shorter this time. The village feels to rural and so isolated even though you can see the not-so-modern urban sprawl of Port-au-Prince just about 20 or so miles away, as the crow flies. Yet, this village is so remote and might as well be in the isolated interior of Africa.. Today, though, we couldnt see Port-au-Prince. We were high up in the clouds all day covered in a mist with only short periods of sunshine that showered my sun-burned skin with painful radiation to the point that I felt like hiding under one of the very few trees in this grassy step into the mountain side.. This was clearly an inclimate day for the villagers sine they were all bundled up until late in the afternoon, shivering and collectively complaining of the cold. To us, however, it was the most comfortable weather so far.. We werent expecting to see too many people, or at least as many as we had in Boudon yesterday, but actually ended up see about twice as many. ...

by Athena Kolbe, Dr. Royce Hutson. Reliable evidence of the frequency and severity of human rights abuses in Haiti after the departure of the elected president in 2004 was scarce. We assessed data from a random survey of households in the greater Port-au-Prince area. METHODS: Using random Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinate sampling, 1260 households (5720 individuals) were sampled. They were interviewed with a structured questionnaire by trained interviewers about their experiences after the departure of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide. The response rate was 90.7%. Information on demographic characteristics, crime, and human rights violations was obtained. FINDINGS: Our findings suggested that 8000 individuals were murdered in the greater Port-au-Prince area during the 22-month period assessed. Almost half of the identified perpetrators were government forces or outside political actors. Sexual assault of women and girls was common, with findings suggesting that 35,000 women were ...

In 2016, Albert Schweitzer may be a somewhat forgotten, or even a controversial, figure but a half a century or more ago, the mere mention of the name Schweitzer instantly conjured up images of selflessness, heroism and the very model of a modern, humane physician.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, HAITI -- Haitians pushed and clawed onto rusty boats and dented buses by the thousands Wednesday, hoping to escape a capital city newly unnerved by the strongest aftershock since the Jan. 12 earthquake.

PRIs The World July 27, 2015 A few weeks back, there was a lot talk about Haitian immigrants facing the prospect of being kicked out of the Dominican Republic. Even people of Haitian descent born in the DR. Dominican authorities set a June 17 deadline for immigrants - mostly Haitian - to apply for legal status or risk deportation. The mass deportations havent materialized. And the Haitian and Dominican governments continue to say that the Haitians who have left have mostly self-deported on a voluntary basis. But some Haitians who did leave tell a different story. ...

Many Haitians migrated to the Dominican Republic to seek work around 60 years ago. Today, Haitian immigrants and their descendants face discrimination in all areas of life. Haitians are the poorest members of Dominican society and earn 60 per cent less than average Dominicans. They often do not have access to proper nutrition or adequate health care due to poor pay, their illegal status and fear of deportation.. ...

I cannot talk about Parsley, in the context of being a Haitian treasure, without highlighting its important role within Haitian and Dominican history. You may or may not have heard of something called The Parsley Massacre; a 6 day ethnic cleansing of Haitians and Haitian-Dominicans in the Dominican Republic, ordered by then dictator Rafael Trujillo in October 1937, to solve an economic crisis. This slaughtering of an estimated 10,000-20,000 people centered around a presumed Haitians ability to pronounce the word perejil; the Spanish word for parsley. Haitians and those of Haitian descent living in the Dominican Republic were ordered to pronounce the word, and if they were unable to pronounce the r with the rolling sound characteristic of the Spanish language, they were executed. There is so much more to say about this but if you would like to learn more, there are plenty of resources available to you. For one, you can ask a parent or grandparent about this. I have had heart-breaking ...

Stripping the rights of those born in the DR but of Haitian descent has also reverberated through the large population of Haitian migrants in the country. To address this populations status the DR stated that Haitians living in the country who could both prove their identity and prove that they arrived in the DR before October 2011 were eligible to apply for residency. There are an estimated 460,000 Haitian migrants in the DR. This option for migrants who have lived in the DR to claim residency has also been difficult for many to pursue, since securing the necessary documentation to prove their status and time of arrival is complicated, in part because many of the Dominicans who employed Haitians are unwilling to officially admit to this fact ...

Like New Orleans, Haiti has experienced great suffering - poverty, disease, natural disaster.. So perhaps its only fitting that a week after an unlucky Haiti marked the third anniversary of its cataclysmic Jan. 12, 2010, earthquake, it is one of New Orleans great musical sons - jazz saxophonist Branford Marsalis - who will open this years Port-au-Prince International Jazz Festival.. Being from New Orleans, Haiti has a kind of mythic status there, said Marsalis, 52, who performs Friday in Jacmel at the Tourism Port and again Saturday in Port-au-Prince at a former sugar cane plantation-turned outdoor concert venue, Parc Historique de la Canne a Sucre.. We have a lot of similar traditions; relationships with Vodou, with music and with rhythm thats very, very different from all of the states in the United States, he said.. Like New Orleans, Haiti was colonized by the French - and that, says the bandleader from one of Americas premier jazz families, helps give Haiti a very different vibe ...

Jean Fritzner Clervéus is the agronomist in charge of the Plant Protection Office of the countrys Ministry of Agriculture. He led us to understand that it was an agronomist named Gustave Menager who first came up with the crossbreed that became Madan Gougous rice. It is also called Yasmine rice. He had a nickname in the Artibonite plains, where he was called Agronomist Gougous. But I do not remember in what year the crossbreeding that yielded this rice took place because this type of knowledge is never written. Rather, it is something that is passed down from one generation to the next.. Agronomist Clervéus is one of those who say he bought Madan Gougous rice sold at the market. I would never have believed it. But there are a few places that sell it. That is why I think this variety of rice still exists.. The plants production manager gives a different reasoning behind this disappearance compared to what Latibonite farmers have to say. According to him, the problem with this rice ...

Back in April 2010, PCI featured the story of one of Haitis Heroes - Bleck Eliassaint - a 23 year-old musician who lost his left leg below the knee in the devastating earthquake that struck Port-au-Prince in January 2010. That disaster leveled much of the capital, killing nearly a quarter million people and leaving more than three million Haitians homeless.. Bleck Eliassaint was one of the lucky ones: he survived.. Unfortunately, he didnt make it out of his apartment building unscathed. Eliassaint, like up to 100,000 other Haitian earthquake amputees, lost a limb after being pinned under wreckage of a collapsed home. Despite the unimaginable physical and emotional challenges hes faced since, Eliassaint chose to enlist in PCIs cash-for-work program in order to support reconstruction efforts in his local community.. Cash-for-work is a short-term program designed to support critical public works projects, while also giving local people the opportunity to earn much-needed income. Funded by ...

http://http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/how-the-world-failed-haiti-20110804. In March of last year, two months after the devastating earthquake that killed 300,000 Haitians and left more than a million homeless, Sean Penn was faced with a monumental challenge. Penn, who had been spending most of his time in Haiti since the quake, was running a large camp for internally displaced persons in the foothills of a wealthy suburb of Port-au-Prince, on what had been the citys lone golf course. Nearly 60,000 poor and middle-class Haitians, most from Haitis devastated capital, had migrated here, pouring over the crumbled walls of the exclusive country club, and established a spontaneous and overcrowded city of crude dwellings fashioned from plastic sheeting.. One night, a heavy rainstorm reduced much of the golf course to mud. Penn turned to Lt. Gen. Ken Keen, commander of the U.S. militarys Joint Task Force Haiti, a 22,000-strong deployment, which was helping to lead the international relief ...

Albert Schweitzers philosophy was firmly rooted in action, and this fusion of thought and activity lies close to the heart of the Schweitzer Institute UKs activities. It is one of the charitys chief concerns to promote humane behaviour and the prevention of cruelty and suffering among animals. We try to ensure that the existing legislation on animal welfare is adequate. This can take the form of parliamentary lobbying to raise animal welfare standards in the transportation of live animals across Europe, for example, or drawing attention to the realities of factory farming. But the circle of human compassion has to start with ourselves, in our families and in our towns, before it can extend outwards. That is why every month, we promote, highlight and raise support for an individual or organization that practices Reverence for Life by making a positive change in their local community. These outreach projects are one of the most rewarding aspects of all that we do. ...

Performing Objects and Theatrical Things imagines a theatre history focused on objects rather than people, to understand physical materials not as inert human possessions but instead as actants, with particular frequencies, energies, and potential to affect human and nonhuman worlds (2). The authors offer theatre and performance research that goes beyond the frame of humans as primary agents and challenges the relationships between methods and scholarship. The differentiation between thing and object offers different viewpoints on subjectivity and objectivity onstage and off. Unlike recent scholarship on puppetry, which often emphasizes relationships between human and object, this book compellingly contends how the objects shape or influence human behavior and performance. The thought-provoking introduction by the books editors, Marlis Schweitzer and Joanne Zerdy, provides a critical overview of different ideas and authors with whom the collection converses, including Actor-Network Theory ...

More recent views of Columbus have been critical of his colonization and treatment of natives.[111][112][113] Among reasons for this criticism is the treatment and disappearance of the native Taíno people of Hispaniola, where Columbus began a rudimentary tribute system of gold and cotton. The people disappeared rapidly after contact with the Spanish because of overwork and the first pandemic of European diseases, which struck Hispaniola after 1519.[114][115] Las Casas records that when he first came to Hispaniola in 1508, there were 60,000 people living on this island, including the Indians; so that from 1494 to 1508, over three million people had perished from war, slavery, and the mines. Who in future generations will believe this? I myself writing it as a knowledgeable eyewitness can hardly believe it....[116] Modern estimates for the pre-Columbian population of Hispaniola are around 250,000-300,000. According to the historian Gonzalo Fernandez de Oviedo y Valdes by 1548, 56 years after ...

Other groups have focused on the nutritional needs of the children in Haiti. The global humanitarian organization Save the Children is supporting the efforts to promote breastfeeding among the new mothers in Haiti, particularly because of the concerns with the tainted water supply. The agency is broadcasting messages on local radio stations in Creole. They are also training midwives, health workers, and nutritional educators to reach out to pregnant and new mothers at camps in Port-au-Prince, Leogane, and Jacmel.. Newborns and infants are very vulnerable during emergencies, especially from diarrhea, pneumonia and malnutrition. But mothers can take simple steps to protect their babys health through exclusive and proper breastfeeding, said Kathryn Bolles, Save the Childrens emergency health and nutrition director.

Several thousand people took the streets of Haitis capital to protest the government of President Michel Martelly, complaining he was not raising their dismal living standards.. The protesters, supporters of two-time president Jean-Bertrand Aristide, expressed anger at the high cost of living and rising food prices under Martelly.. Martelly must go.

It was just the latest in a series of protests that have shook Haiti during the past two weeks over difficult living conditions in the poorest nation of the Americas.. ...
