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.

Haiti Clinics--August 2021 Update
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.

Haitian medical practitioners trained by HWB in homeopathy travel to outlying areas where care is most needed. On a busy clinic day in Savinette (photos below), clinicians each saw 20-30 patients. With fuel for cars costing $11 per liter ($44 per gallon) just filling their tanks with gas to travel to Cap Haitien (where the next clinics will be held) will be a huge challenge. Help now!

The Haitian Homeopathic Society, under the leadership of Dr. Joseph B. Prosper (Dr. Joey), has just launched a year-long project to bring mobile clinics to five different regions or departments in Haiti. The January 2021 clinic was held in Savanette, a mountainous area in the Central region of Haiti.
HWB board member, Pamela Lialias, interviewed Dr. Joey recently. Learn more about mobile clinics and homeopathy in Haiti in the video! |
