THE BAILLE TOURIBLE HEALTH CLINIC
KANPE has partnered with Zanmi Lasante (Partners in Health) to support access to healthcare by eliminating financial barriers in vulnerable communities. In 2011, we set up a clinic in Baille Tourible. Before that, the nearest clinic was 6 hours away on foot. This clinic serves more than 11,000 inhabitants.
In addition to basic healthcare, the clinic:
- Treats children suffering from acute and moderate malnutrition. As of june 30th, 117 malnourished children have been cured by Nutrition Services,
- Treats cholera cases. More than 1,700 cholera treatments have been provided since 2011. In 2019, following a trend observed since 2018, no cases of cholera were reported. As of June 30, 2019, Baille Tourible was free of cholera for 18 months.
