News from Haiti -- January 25, 2022

Since yesterday morning (January 24), Haiti has been rocked by back-to-back earthquakes. The first 5.3-magnitude quake occurred two miles south-southeast of Anse-à-Veau, sending Haitians into the streets of Les Cayes. Les Cayes is still in recovery from the 7+ magnitude quake which devastated that area on August 14, and Haitian homeopaths have been traveling by whatever means possible to this area and provide care at mobile clinics.
A second tremor on January 24, registering 5.1 magnitude was centered about 2.5miles west-southwest of Petite Rivière de Nippes, 106 km. from Port-au-Prince.

Haitian homeopaths report that in addition to 2 deaths, 50+ injuries and 782 homes destroyed, the people are traumatized. "They are afraid to go into their homes," reports Dr. Joey Prosper.
The HWB-trained team of Haitian Homeopaths will do a follow-up clinic in Port Salut area this weekend and are making preparations to go to this new earthquake zone possibly as soon as Monday.  Clinical directors, Dr. Joey Prosper and Israel Joseph, RNP, know all too well what another traumatic event means for these communities.  They want to get a team there as soon as possible.
Doctors, nurse practitioners, nurses, midwives, pharmacists and Homéopathes Communautaires
make up the HWB Haitian Team. Clinical director, Lauren Fox, FNP-BC, CCH provides support via telehealth.
Since the earthquake of August 14 and ongoing tropical storms, HWB-trained Haitian homeopaths have answered the call. They travel by whatever means available to the towns in the  Les Cayes region to set up mobile clinics, helping those in need. Small but nimble teams of doctors, nurses, pharmacists and Homéopathes Communataires treat upwards of 60-70 people a day at clinics which rotate from village to town. Follow up clinics are also integrated into the schedule to address ongoing medical care including psychological needs.
Because of YOUR support, the Haitian homeopaths continue to be some of the first providers onsite after natural disasters and civil unrest.
These generous practitioners provide essential medical care for fractures, wounds, trauma and shock, as well as the after effects of life with poor quality drinking water and limited food.

​HWB continues to focus on community and supporting good health despite challenges this past year due to the pandemic. This summer, the first of HWB’s Community-partnered clinics launched  with the nonprofit organization, Nibezun.  Nibezun serves the Wabanaki confederacy of the tribal nations of Maine. 

The clinic is staffed by volunteer homeopaths from Maine, with clinical direction from HWB’s Lauren Fox, FNP-BC, CCH.

​For many indigenous people, health is very much related to family, to community, and to nature as well as physical wellbeing.   HWB is excited to initiate the first HWB Community-partnered clinic in the continental United States.

​What people are saying   
"When the class started I found it difficult and doubted that I would get results. But when I started using the medicines, I found they were really efficient.  Haiti needs homeopathy. The medicines work and cost so little."   
~ Midwife who works at a maternity hospital after completing Fundamentals of Homeopathy for the Childbearing Year course.
