Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has made the difficult decision to suspend all medical activities in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, until further notice. This decision comes in response to multiple escalating and direct threats of violence against our staff, patients, and medical work. On November 11, two MSF patients were executed and an MSF team member was threatened and attacked by members of a vigilante group and law enforcement officers. Multiple incidents of threats of violence continued throughout November.
MSF remains committed to providing care in Haiti—and our teams in other areas of the country continue to provide urgently-needed care for our patients. Our maternal health programs in the south of the country, in Port-à-Piment, will continue to provide obstetric care and surgery, neonatal care, sexual and reproductive health services, and more. While new patients cannot be admitted to any of the five medical facilities in Port-au-Prince, our teams will continue to provide care to hospitalized patients.
