Hopital Sainte Croix
On Sept. 22, 2010, Hopital Sainte Croix officially reopened for patients for the first time since it was destroyed in the January earthquake. Bishop Jean Zache Duracin came to Leogane and presided over a worship and celebration service and blessed the hospital. It is operating in the one story medicine wing of the old hospital. There are about 30 beds and two small operating rooms.
On the evening of the 23rd, there were two patients, a pediatric patient and one adult. Rejoice with us! There are doctors and nurses around the clock, sheets on the beds, and functioning bathrooms! Down the hall, in the old operating room/central supply area, the Children Nutrition Program is providing in-patient and out-patient renourishment programs. In the old day clinic area, the out patient clinic is seeing over 150 patients every day. The lab and the x-ray departments are busy. The place finally looks and works like a hospital again. Please keep the hospital in your prayers!
