Description
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) began working with Haiti’s Ministry of Public Health and Population (MSPP) in 2002 to address the growing HIV/AIDS epidemic. Initially focused on prevention and treatment services, CDC’s HIV work expanded to include laboratory systems strengthening, health information systems, workforce development and capacity building, and the integrated HIV and tuberculosis (TB) clinical services. CDC’s increased support to MSPP has resulted in substantial advances in health security and public health system strengthening in Haiti. CDC works with partners such as the Pan-American Health Organization and other non-governmental organizations to provide technical assistance and logistical support focused on rebuilding and strengthening Haiti’s laboratory systems.
