Northwest Haiti Christian Mission’s clinic building sits at the physical heart of our main campus in Saint-Louis du Nord.  It is a vital lifeline of medical care for the community and surrounding areas, especially for the poor.

The clinic is a multi-faceted facility that sees hundreds of patients a week.  Its services include:

General Clinic
NWHCM’s general clinic sees more than 30 patients a day with a dedicated resident physician and three nurses.

Pediatric Clinic
A resident physician and staff nurse see more than 30 children a week in our pediatric clinic, which operates Monday through Friday.

Prenatal Clinic
NWHCM nurses and midwives consult between 20 and 50 prenatal patients a day, providing essential care and prenatal supplements.

Ultrasound
NWHCM’s OB/GYN conducts between 15 and 30 ultrasounds a day for the mission’s prenatal patients.

HIV Testing
Our staff, including a dedicated social worker, provide HIV testing for prenatal patients and referrals for positive cases.

Dressing Change Clinic
Two staff nurses provide dressing changes for more than 10 patients a day, most of whom are recovering from burns, skin infections and ulcers.

Our clinic is open year-round, Monday through Friday, except on some Haitian holidays.  NWHCM always welcomes volunteers and medical personnel who want to serve in our clinic, both either short-term or long-term.  For more information about taking a short-term medical trip to Haiti, or to learn about NWHCM’s internship opportunities, please contact:
