One Year after the Earthquake, Haiti’s Recovery Proceeds Slowly

A year after the devastating earthquake in Haiti, recovery is occurring in fits and starts as the country continues to struggle against adversity. A million people are still living in temporary facilities for the displaced or in makeshift communities without basic services. Conditions have exacerbated many sexual and reproductive health care challenges, from the delivery of care and supplies, to managing sexually transmitted infections, and addressing complex issues such as delivery complications for cholera-infected women and care for their newborns, who may be premature.  In response, UNFPA and its partners, including the Ministry of Health, are working on strategies to meet the needs of particularly vulnerable groups, including pregnant women, people living with HIV, and youth.
