January 2020 - Training Mission

2019 : Hopital Immaculee Conception des Cayes

Course Curriculum

coming soon..

Another phenomenal Primary Care Haiti training trip to Haiti! We worked at L’Hospital Immaculee Conception in Les Cayes in the South of Haiti.

Training Mission Highlights

Emergency Care Course
Ultrasound Course
Cervical Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment screening using the WHO recommended “see and treat” method (thanks to the colposcope from MobileODT)
Pharmacy Course
IT Training
- Adult and pediatric neonatal resuscitation techniques

This trip was dedicated to the memory of Dr Michaele Gedeon, former Minister of Health of Haiti, who dedicated her life to improving health care in Haiti. One of Dr Gedeon’s goals was to expand the work of Primary Care Haiti to the south of the country and to train more health care providers in emergency response. We are proud to have accomplished her goal and we look forward to continuing our training trips in the future. www.primarycarehaiti.com
