IMA's Work in Haiti

IMA has been working to improve health care in Haiti since the late 1990s. Our current projects include:

	• Fighting disease. USAID-funded mass drug administration programs to treat and prevent neglected tropical diseases, including Lymphatic Filariasis (elephantiasis) and soil transmitted helminthes (STH). To date, this program has reached over 4.1 million people in seven departments in Haiti and is slated to reach full nationwide coverage by 2011.
	• Providing safe births for mothers and babies. IMA distributes Safe Motherhood Kits™, which contain the necessary supplies to provide a safe and sterile birth for expectant mothers and their newborns.
	• Keeping kids healthy through good hygiene. IMA distributes Healthy Kids Kits to children in Haiti to provide essential hygiene supplies, which help to ward off disease through frequent hand and face washing.
	• Developing a sustainable, long-term health care system. Following the 2010 earthquake, IMA conducted an assessment in Haiti to determine the best course of action for structuring an overall health care development plan. With a group of partners, IMA is developing a pilot program to create and execute long-term health and development activities.

Thank you for partnering with IMA to advance health and healing in Haiti and around the world.
