MEDICAL PROGRAM

At Second Chance we want to restore and provide hope for those who feel and live in brokenness. From our family empowerment program to our child sponsorship we know that this can be acknowledged through various forms of support. For those in Haiti often comes in the of physical brokenness.

• 96% of Haitian population lacks basic health coverage and regular access to health care.

• More than 90% of Haitian children living in rural areas have worms or parasites that make them sick.

• AIDS, Parasitic/Infectious Disease, Typhoid, and Tuberculosis are the leading causes of death in Haiti.

• Children are still suffering and some dying from chronic malnutrition.

• Nearly 50% of the population does not have access to clean drinking water.

Most of Haiti’s poor do not have conventional healthcare available to them. The resulting health problems in conjunction with the lack of services causes a countless number of deaths. People with treatable illness simply do not survive because of the lack of medical aid.

Knowing this, we are working tirelessly to implement a program and project that would provide healthcare for the poorest of the poor throughout the Pierre Payen area and beyond. At the Second Chance Haiti Redemption Retreat Center we plan to serve the country’s most disadvantaged through a clinic that could include emergency medical, vision, and dental clinic.

Many have never been treated by a doctor or nurse in their lifetime. In addition to the onsite clinic, we will make every effort to bring medical services directly to the people of Haiti. With the help of our mission teams we intend to provide medical attention in surrounding areas through mobile medical clinics. The clinics will provide medical, vision, and dental attention. We are able to see 100-225 patients in each clinic depending on the team size. In a week’s time, our medical mission trips have seen close to 1,000 patients.

Each patient that leaves the clinics is provided with medication when necessary, plan of next steps or follow up if necessary, encouragement and also prayer. We want everyone that we see to feel and know the love of Jesus. We have had individuals come to salvation before leaving the clinic!

Please consider helping us to continue to provide people with quality medical care they deserve.
