Haiti’s healthcare infrastructure has received a significant boost with the successful restoration of more than twenty ambulances previously sidelined by mechanical failures. This comprehensive rehabilitation initiative, spearheaded by the National Ambulance Center (CAN) since early 2025, represents a strategic nationwide effort to strengthen emergency medical response capabilities across all departments.
Under the coordinated leadership of CAN Director General Renand Aristide and Administrative and Financial Director Leconte Dor, the program has achieved remarkable regional successes. The Great South region has witnessed the reactivation of over ten emergency vehicles through extensive repairs and systematic maintenance performed by CAN’s specialized technical teams.
The Northern Region has demonstrated particularly impressive outcomes. In the Northwest territory, a dedicated team of four mechanics under Garage Head Carlo Mompoint executed central administration directives to restore eight long-dormant ambulances to operational status. Complementing these efforts, the department received an additional new vehicle to further enhance its emergency fleet capacity.
Concurrent operations in the North and Fort-Liberté areas addressed three ambulances suffering from critical mechanical failures. These targeted interventions have substantially improved regional emergency response readiness, ensuring communities regain access to rapid and functional medical transportation services.
The sight of mechanics working tirelessly on vehicle maintenance has transformed into operational ambulances now actively serving populations again. This systematic approach to rebuilding emergency medical infrastructure marks a crucial step in addressing healthcare accessibility challenges throughout Haiti’s diverse regions.
