• Medical Mission Exchange - Medical Mission Exchange aims to facilitate referrals of underserved patients to appropriate medical specialists in Central America and the Caribbean. MMEX provides a free, online database of short- and long-term medical missions serving Belize, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Haiti and Honduras. The information provided includes when and where these groups are working and what medical specialties are represented. Long-term missionaries, health care workers, NGOs, and short-term medical health care providers will be able to determine when and where people with various health problems can be medically evaluated and treated, both at long-term facilities and short-term missions. Patients can be offered a specified date and place to see a specialist. The goal of the MMEX Web site is to enable referrals to be made to short-term mission groups prior to their arrival, thereby better utilising the physicians and other health care providers who are volunteering their services

• Health in the Americas 2007: Haiti - As a health agency, the Pan American Health Organization’s core discipline is epidemiology, which enables the measurement, definition, and comparison of health problems and conditions and their distribution from the perspectives of population, geography, and time. This publication on Haiti addresses the issue of health as a human right, taking into account both the individual and community contexts, and examines various critical determinants of health, including those of a biological, social, cultural, economic, and political nature. That examination reveals the existence of gaps, disparities, and inequities that persist in Haiti, especially those related to access to basic services, health, nutrition, housing, and adequate living conditions as well as to the lack of opportunities for human development—all of which contribute to the greater vulnerability to diseases and health risks of some population groups. [Adapted from the preface of Health in the Americas 2007] (Version in French)
