Dear Friends of Fondwa:
As I'm sure you are aware, the situation in Haiti continues to be challenging. Port-au-Prince and areas north are almost completely gang controled. According to the United Nations Populations Fund, "The humanitarian crisis in Haiti is growing increasingly dire, as gang violence in Port-au-Prince persists and is spilling out into the provinces. More than 1 million people have been displaced across the country, with the most vulnerable seeking refuge in locations that lack the most basic services."
In fact, many people have fled to the countryside, and we see this impact in Fondwa. Thankfully, the gang violence has not spread to the south. The APF Fondwa clinic continues to serve the people of Fondwa, and those who are fleeing to the south to escape the violence.
From April to June 2025, the APF Fondwa Clinic received 209 visits in total:
88 patients for consultations at the Fondwa clinic
121 visits for child vaccinations, including 2 children who are now fully vaccinated
Breakdown by month:
April: 55 visits total – 24 consultations and 31 vaccinations
May: 80 visits total – 36 consultations and 44 vaccinations
June: 74 visits total – 28 consultations and 48 vaccinations
Most frequent illnesses encountered during this 3-month period (total cases) included emergencies, gastritis, gastroenteritis, genital and urinary infections, diabetes, pruritic dermatoses, severe phimosis, hypertension, Infant colic, respiratory infection, conjunctivitis, tinea capitis (scalp ringworm), anemia, tonsillitis, moderate acute malnutrition (MAM), arthrosis, psychotic disorder, and candida albicans infection. Total cases for the period, 209.
During this period, we referred 1 patient with a pregnancy for specialized service and better management.
We send our sincere gratitude for your continued support and monthly donations. It makes a huge difference, and it makes it possible for us to continue to provide health care in Fondwa, and in a country, where access to heathcare is becoming non-existant.
Dr. M. Louinise Randiche and Nurse Kerline Thermozier
