The project aims to strengthen both management and medical practices at the Departmental Hospital La Providence des Gonaives in Haiti. This technical support focuses on strengthening the clinical capacity of hospital staff, while also establishing governance and management tools to improve medical services to the population of Haiti, particularly to mothers, newborns and children.

The expected intermediate outcomes for this project include: (1) enhanced governance and management practices of hospital managers that take into account gender equality and environment; and (2) enhanced quality of medical practices that take into account gender equality and environment.

Results achieved as of the end of the project (October 2017) include: (1) financial control measures were put into place, resulting in a 75% increase in the hospital’s revenues; (2) the management committee is operational; (3) wait times for outpatients has decreased; (4) the emergency room has been reorganized in order to optimize its operations; and (5) approximately 40 treatment protocols have been developed and are being used, primarily in pediatrics, obstetrics and emergency.
