Haiti Case Study

Between August 20th and 24th, the workshop on Haiti's case study, promoted by Countdown to 2030, was held at the International Center for Equity in Health. Participating in the event were Professor Aluísio Barros, Gary Joseph, Luis Paulo Vidaletti, Luis Huicho, Oscar Mujica and Robert Barrais.

At the event, topics related to the major health programs and policies conducted in Haiti from the 1980s to 2017 were discussed. The last five DHS surveys conducted in the country from 1994 to 2016 were also analyzed. Descriptive analyzes of trends and inequalities in indicators of reproductive, maternal-neonatal and child health were made.

The next meeting to present the preliminary results of the study is expected to take place in Haiti in November 2018.
