HHS Emergency Response: Haiti

In the aftermath of the earthquake that devastated Haiti in January, HHS responded with emergency medical supplies and treatment for the people of the island nation as part of a larger coordinated response.

Since that time, the HHS medical response efforts have moved from focusing on emergency acute care for those harmed in the earthquake to focusing on helping the people of Haiti rebuild their medical infrastructure, increase their capacity to prevent the spread of communicable diseases and secure the processes needed to ensure those who were injured can receive ongoing rehabilitative care.
