On July 21st and 22nd 2014, Konbit Pou Potapiman Inc (KPP) in collaboration with the Association des Médecins Haitiens (AMH) held its annual Free Health Fair Clinic  at the hospital in Port-a-Piment.

People from all ages turned out for this event. More than 300 patients received free consultations and medicines. This Fair included information on diabetes, high blood pressure, hygiene and a chance to speak with qualified professionals.

It was a successful event by all accounts. The AMH  physicians, Dr Eddy Jean-Baptiste and Dr .Eder Jean Baptiste from Port-au-Prince and the local hospital physician Dr. Ronald Charles  teamed up with Dr Edwig Eugene from Louisiana and  Dr Dominique A Jean of Los Angeles, California  to provide all the necessary care.  A variety of health care professionals from the hospital and from abroad came in to help make these two days a great KPP-AMH event.

“These two days have been a great success,” said Dr Dominique A Jean “I have seen a great turnout and I am happy to provide this service for the county of Port-a-Piment.”
