Psychopharmacology Program in Haiti
A key objective in strengthening capacity and access to psychotropic medications in Ayiti was securing a donor-partnership with a reliable supplier.
In early February of 2015, the Haitian American Nursing Association answered the call of a key supplier and created the opportunity for Rebati Sante Mentale to implement the Gerald Rigaud Fund (GRF) Medication Project: ensuring the sustainable inventory and provision of psychotropic meds to poor patients diagnosed with mental disorders.
RSM in partnership with the Haitian American Nursing Association, the Center for Haitian Studies in Miami, FedEx, Haitian American Psychiatric Association, and the Center Specializing For The Rehabilitation of People with Amputations all play a part of the supply chain management system that is now successfully processing shipments of medications to the following destinations:
L’Hopital Justinien in Cap Haitian, Mars & Klein in Port-au-Prince, and L’Hopital Beudet in Croix Des Bouquets.
