Description
In Haiti’s health sector, there have been positive gains in some areas with stagnation in others. These mixed results reflect a health sector that continues to face significant challenges. Weak governance and coordination, geographic and financial barriers to access health services, shortages of essential medicines, and the difficulty of attracting and retaining qualified health professionals, are all chronic struggles for the Ministry of Health (MOH).
