Our network
We fight injustice by making health care accessible to those who need it most.
On March 11, 1996, Zanmi Lasante was legally registered as a local non-profit organization in Haiti. In 2002, we officially started working within the institutions of the Ministry of Public Health and Population (MSPP). We are one of the oldest non-governmental organizations working in Haiti and have grown into one of the largest healthcare providers in the country. Our first healthcare facility was established in Cange in the Central Plateau, and since then, we have extended our services to 15 public hospitals and clinics across the Central Plateau and Lower Artibonite, serving a population of 1.3 million people.
