CAP HAITIEN, Haiti — Women and children crowd up to the door of the Justinian Hospital's pediatric outpatient clinic, waiting to see the health agent, who can help them with basic needs such as vaccinations or checkups.
Inside, a newer power backup system keeps the lights on at night, even during the frequent blackouts. The hospital was able to put away the kerosene lamps it had been using – a serious danger around the oxygen used for patients.
And in a neonatal intensive care unit, family members watch over quiet babies in incubators, as doctors talk to parents of new patients.
"Every bit of equipment in there is from Maine Med," said Nate Nickerson, executive director of Konbit Sante, a Portland-based nonprofit that has been working for nine years to help improve northern Haiti's health care system through its work at the Justinian Hospital and a clinic at Fort St. Michel, Cap Haitien's poorest neighborhood.
In fact, signs of Maine are everywhere in the Justinian Hospital.

KONBIT SANTE CAP-HAITIEN HEALTH PARTNERSHIP
Founded in 2000, the Portland-based Konbit Sante Cap-Haitien Health Partnership works to improve health care in northern Haiti by working with the Haitian Ministry of Health. The ministry operates the Justinian Hospital, a 250-bed teaching facility and a public medical clinic in Cap Haitien, Haiti's second-largest city (population 180,000), about 100 miles north of Port-au-Prince.
