Only months from completion, a new hospital takes shape
Posted on 10/27/11
When it opens in early 2012, Mirebalais Hospital will serve approximately 500 outpatients per day, with a 320-bed inpatient capacity. This will more than double the total public-sector bed capacity in Haiti’s Centre Department, and enable the provision of quality, comprehensive clinical services to communities that currently have very limited access to health care.
Each week we bring you an update on the hospital’s construction. This week we’re going to let these new images speak for themselves.
