Help Build Mirebalais Hospital & Train Haitian Workers

Some of the work that needs to be done is not common in Haiti, and we would like American tradespeople to help build and teach their Haitian counter parts their skills and techniques. We are in need of skilled tradespeople including: carpenters, plumbers, welders/metalworkers, electricians, medical equipment installers and biomedical technicians to volunteer with PIH to help build the Mirebalais hospital.

About Mirebalais Hospital

The construction of this new hospital in Mirebalais, Haiti, will bring to bear all that Partners In Health and Zanmi Lasante have learned over the past 25 years about hospital design that serves health care delivery, provides a dignified setting for patients in very poor settings, and allows health professionals to train and develop new skills. Workers broke ground on the facility on July 3, 2010. When completed it will house 320 beds, serve an estimated 450 – 500 patients a day, and help to train Haiti’s next generation of doctors, nurses and medical workers.
