MSF is looking to put a CTU annex to the Fort St. Michel Health Center, but there is a lot of community opposition at this point… Hopefully will be dealt with in the next couple of days.

There have been a number of deaths in the community around FSM (Fort st michel), and I understand people don’t want to stay at the gymnasium.

In 2003, Konbit Sante expanded its work to the clinic at Fort St. Michel. This well-organized public clinic is under equipped and under staffed to serve the needs of this impoverished neighborhood of 40,000 people on the edge of Cap-Haitien. There is no electrical service or safe drinking water in Fort St. Michel. Most homes are very fragile dwellings constructed on refuse and vulnerable to flooding. Tuberculosis is the leading infectious cause of death in the Fort St. Michel neighborhood.
