Haiti Medical News - New Teaching Hospital To Be Built In Mirebalais Haiti
This new hospital will include six operating rooms, it will have digital X-ray capabilities, and it will be powered in part by solar panels.
Before I tell you more, let me explain to you what a "Teaching Hospital" is...
I know you're intelligent... But I am so excited... Indulge me OK?
A teaching hospital is a hospital that provides clinical education and training to future and current doctors, nurses, and other health professionals (that means 'future' Haitian doctors... well... you get it... :), in addition to delivering medical care to patients.
Teaching hospitals are generally affiliated with medical schools or universities. These hospitals are often called university hospitals.
Example of a teaching hospital in the USA...
If you live in Massachusetts, the home of Partners in Health, you may be familiar with the Boston Medical Center (BMC), a non-profit 639-bed medical center which happens to be the primary teaching affiliate of the Boston University School of Medicine.
BMC also happens to be where my two sons were born...
Yep... I used to live in Boston too... Malden to be exact!
Upham St, that's where was born!
A teaching hospital in Haiti... A fine example of reconstruction...
I read an article about this in the in which they call Partners in Health "an exemplary nongovernmental organization"
The article says...
Dr. Paul Farmer, one of the founders of Partners in Health, has spoken forcefully about the need to break bad old habits of international aid, which in half a century has never reached the goal of creating a functioning country run by Haitians for Haitians...
...Rebuilding Haiti requires building a functioning, responsive Haitian state...
...A hospital that teaches a new generation of Haitian doctors and nurses, meeting an aching need for medical care while spurring the home-grown economy, is a fine example of how to do that.
Today is Sunday and all I can say is...
AMEN... Doktè Famèr... Alelouya!
Li tap pi bon si nou te bati lopital la HINCHE kòm se la-m soti (Can you smell the jalouzi?) But. Mirebalais is close enough...
After all... location, location, location... There aint no 'Goudougoudou' in the Plateau Centrale
Now it's your turn...
What do you think about this?
