Regional Leaders' Response
If one was to sit outside of the international airport in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, how many groups would be seen entering or exiting the country related to short-term medical missions, and with that in mind, is all of this activity improving access opportunities and the health and wellness of Haiti's women, men and children.
In this session, hear insights from those who receive U.S. medical volunteers and educators while serving in leadership of critical medical access points for the poorest and most vulnerable Haitians.
