César Louissaint and the delegation visited, among other things, the field hospital, located in Pestel with the support of the Mexican Embassy in Haiti. This mobile hospital, finally, works with more than 30 health specialists from Mexico and receives more than 76 patients per day.

According to the assessment, the hospital could close its doors soon due to the marked decrease in health emergencies directly linked to the earthquake.

Indeed, the patients who have benefited from hospital services in recent days have no relation to the consequences of the earthquake.
