Report from Haiti

Homeopaths Without Borders-NA sent another team to Haiti the week of July 17-25. Six months after the earthquake, the situation in Haiti is no longer considered an emergency; however, this poor nation has hundreds of thousands of people living in tent cities and in tents and makeshift plastic housing along the streets. Malaria is already visible.

With the shifting away from emergency status, personnel at the Hopital Francais, a private facility, informed HWB-NA there was no longer a need for their services where they had treated thousands of patients on previous missions. The goals of this current team were to explore a venue where treatment of patients was still considered a need and to establish a relationship with an institution where homeopathy could be taught to health care personnel.

The efforts of the team, consisting of Kim Sikorski, M.D., team leader; Lauri Grossman, D.C.; Lisette Narragon, CHC and Myrna Merron, EdD, resulted in the attainment of those objectives. The team treated children and adults with serious maladies at St. Vincent’s Center for Handicapped Children. Additionally, they met with a distinguished surgeon at Hopital Canape Vert who was sympathetic to the desire of HWB to promote health care independence through homeopathy. That meeting led to a conversation with the head nurse at a university in Port Au Prince; the group is also exploring teaching nurses at a facility in Leogane, 30 miles from Port Au Prince.

The ultimate goal of HWB-NA is to continue treating at St. Vincent’s while conducting teaching programs at medical institutions. The plan includes establishing a number of teams that will work in Haiti on a rotating basis. At this time, Haiti is a nation dependent on charity from the outside. HWB hopes to champion self-sufficiency.
