Healing Haiti’s Children: Inside one of Port-au-Prince’s last hospitals

Healing Haiti’s Children: Inside one of Port-au-Prince’s last hospitals

Kareen Ulysse searches for supplies at her family-run hospital as gang violence grips Haiti.

Kareen Ulysse chooses to stay and keep her family-run hospital in Cite Soleil’s gang-controlled area open despite the fact that many people are being forced to flee Haiti’s devastation. More than a million people have been forced to live elsewhere as a result of the chaos that has left many babies abandoned at Hospital Fontaine’s neonatal clinic.

The difficulty of getting urgent medical supplies gets worse as the airport is closed and hospitals are under increased attack. Kareen is forced to race against the clock to get the oxygen that is so important to the newborns in her care.
