The tourist destination that is Grand Goave is often forgotten when the time comes for state authorities to make planning decisions. It's one of the reasons why the coastal town, known for its beaches that tourists love to frequent, has been slow on the technological upgrades. Linked to the country by only a mobile phone service, one radio station, one TV station and virtually no postal service, the town also only has one hospital to speak of. Luckily, the staff at Hopital Georges Gauvin, comprised of dedicated doctors and nurses, some from Cuba, handle the daily traffic valiantly.

Five years after the devastating earthquake that destroyed the St. Francis de Sales Hospital in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, the hospital is set to re-open on January 15, 2015 with a new 200-bed modern hospital facility.

Haitian mothers are deserting their children at Dominican hospitals. Arturo Grullon Hospital Director, Dr. Morel, says the hospital must take care of the children while CONANI looks for foster families or an orphanage.

She says mothers bring in a sick child, get them admitted, and then flee, never to return. She adds new policies will be implemented for Haitian mothers bringing in sick children, to stop the practice of child abandonment.

Here is a picture of Hôpital Alma Mater located in the town of Gros Morne in Haiti

In Gros Morne, the Hôpital Alma Mater operates as a 50-bed hospital that gives care to about 135,000 people. A large part of its operation is the help given by volunteer workers who travel to Gros Morne. Without this voluntary aid, the hospital would find itself in dire straights as it, like so many other health care facilities in Haiti, functions with meager finances and inferior equipment. Following the 2010 earthquake, it has been struggling to adequately treat patients. There has been work to build up the capacity of the hospital since 2013 by Hospital Alma Mater and GHI.
