For days Haitian and volunteer construction workers made the construction site of Haiti’s new National Teaching Hospital ship-shape for today’s visit by dignitaries, former President Bill Clinton and Partners in Health (PIH) co-founder Dr. Paul Farmer. Guided by Dr. David Walton and my husband Jim, Director of Construction for PIH, Clinton and his entourage examined blue-prints for the 320-bed hospital in Haiti’s Central Plateau. They also toured the completed maternal and infant care building of the first solar-powered hospital in the Caribbean. The hospital is a public-private partnership between the Government of Haiti, Partners in Health, and Zanmi Lasante, PIH’s sister organization in Haiti.

Clinton, Walton, & Ansara discuss progress towards completion of National Teaching Hospital in Mirebalais.
