According to governmental reports, there are one million victims –more than two thirds living in improvised camps and some 236,000 displaced from the territory.

The Delmas 33, Ofatma and La Renaissence hospitals, the emergency centers of Carrefour, Jacmel and Croix Bouquet, and the Center for Comprehensive Diagnosis of Grand Goave, among others, show the dedication of doctors, specialists and health workers of the Cuban mission in general.

All medical units, in the capital, on the outskirts of it and in other departments, work round the clock.
