Do No Harm Due Diligence: A Checklist for Medical Outreach in Haiti

Since the devastating 2010 earthquake in Haiti, AmeriCares has been operating an office in Haiti to provide local health partners with medicines, medical supplies, equipment, funding and technical support. Our work with the Haitian Ministry of Public Health and Population (MSPP), Haitian and international NGOs, public and private hospitals, and clinics and community health programs across the country gives AmeriCares a unique, informed view of health care delivery in Haiti. We’ve summarized lessons-learned into a checklist we call “Do No Harm—Due Diligence in Haiti.”
