During the 2024–2025 biennium, PAHO played a critical role in sustaining essential blood transfusion services in Haiti in the face of persistent insecurity, prolonged electricity outages, and severe operational disruptions. These conditions posed a direct threat to the continuity, safety, and reliability of the national blood supply.
During the 2024–2025 biennium, PAHO provided technical cooperation to strengthen the resilience, quality, and continuity of emergency and obstetric care at the Hôpital Universitaire La Paix, the only major public referral hospital serving the metropolitan area of Port-au-Prince.
A landmark achievement during the biennium was Haiti’s formal adoption of the Maternal Death Surveillance and Response (MDSR) strategy as a national intervention, marking a decisive step toward reducing maternal mortality.
During the biennium, PAHO supported Haiti in establishing its first national coordination unit for noncommunicable diseases (NCD), injuries, and mental health, significantly strengthening national leadership and governance in this priority area.
During the 2024-2025 biennium, PAHO strengthened Haiti’s capacity to detect and respond to public health threats among internally displaced populations in the Artibonite and Centre departments, areas severely affected by insecurity and partial gang control.
