The clinic should be well visible and easily accessible to all patients, including those with amputations and other disabilities. There should be a large enough waiting room to handle the above mentioned volume of potential patients.

I propose to establish a wound care center in Port-au-Prince to start with, followed by subsequent satellite clinics at larger cities throughout the country.A well established program must be up and going in PAP prior to expansion.

The approximate population of Haiti is 8 million people; and the WHO estimates the incidence of diabetes in Haiti to be 2-8% of the population. This number is probably more towards 8% due to the fact that 99% of the Haitian population is black,

Nearly two-thirds of the Haiti population does not have access to medicine and health services, particularly those living in rural areas and the financially incompetent. In addition, the poorly sanitized and ill equipped health centers and hospitals in Haiti help in spreading infection than accelerating treatment.

The objective of Wound Care Haiti Inc is to improve the overall quality of wound care in the country of Haiti - through the establishment of standardized wound care centers across the country. Our vision for these centers is that they will utilize industry standard wound care techniques, treatments and education materials – thus reducing the country’s mortality rates on deaths related to limb amputation and diabetes. Furthermore we will provide training to local physicians and nurses and education materials to the Haitian public. Unfortunately, despite the efforts of various charitable organizations, diabetes remains under-diagnosed and under treated in Haiti. Diabetes is a world health dilemma that results in multiple systemic complications and can be life, limb, eye and renal threatening. The diabetic foot ulcer is often a pre-curser to lower extremity amputation, and often with further progression to loss of life. Nearly 2/3 of the Haitian population does not have access to medicine and health services, particularly those living in rural areas and the financially incompetent. In addition, the poorly sanitized and ill equipped health centers in Haiti help in spreading infection rather than accelerating treatment. Incorporated on March 26, 2009; Wound Care Haiti (501c3 tax-exempt) has been structured and operated exclusively for charitable purposes, which are particularly focused on the Haitian community. Join us in our mission to bring a limb-amputation prevention program to the people of Haiti. |

Clinic Equipment Required - Patient tables for each room
- Hand-held dopplers (2-4) with gel for exams
- Basic dressings such as 4x4’s, kling, kerlex, coban, ace wraps, cast padding, non-adherent dressings such as adaptic, foam, hydrogel, calcium alginate dressing, collagen dressings, silver nitrate, cotton-tip applicators
- Local anesthesia
- Surgical equipment such as #10 and #15 blades with #3 blade handles, tissue nipper, #3/5/7 ring curettes disposable if possible
- Gloves of various sizes
- Off-loading devices – surgical shoes, ¼ adhesive felt padding, possibly kits for total contact casting and materials to make accommodative insoles at the clinic, and crutches
- Possibly venous stasis ulcer compression wrap materials
Documentation Requirements I recommend an ulcer charting template be used in conjunction with digital photos, additionally some form of an initial history and physical form should be included in the chart. Physician Requirements The doctor or doctors involved should have some type of surgical training, either in orthopedics or general surgery. I could help train specific surgical and debridement skills over many repeated trips. On-Going Consultations I could make consultations over the web via email with photos or even utilizing web cams. Phone consultations are also a possibility. I would need to make regular trips to provide direct training. Education Formal educational training programs are essential. This would include lecture seminars, hands on clinic training, and surgical hands on training. Once an established program has been arranged, those who work at that program could help teach new clinic sites and at national seminars. Additionally, webinars could be arranged for on-going training on a regular basis. Funding My initial thoughts would be to start a NPO for this project with a website to solicit donations from the US and worldwide. Any help provided by the Haitian government would be additional. This type of program would save a significant amount of money to the Health Ministry. Health care funding by the government has decreased from 24.8 goudes in 1990 to 15.7 goudes in 1995. The most recent information on the healthcare budget for Haiti has decreased 27% when adjusted for inflation from 157 million goudes in 1990 to 421 million goudes in 1996. Healthcare costs are approximately 7.8%-10.7% of the entire governmental budget, which is about 1% of GDP. Public spending on healthcare has also decreased from 25 goudes in 1990 to 16 goudes in 1998 per person per year. The cost of this program would be substantially less than the cost of the surgical and hospital care diabetic foot ulcers result in yearly. Any help in establishing relationships with current NGOs in Haiti would greatly facilitate this project. Why Patrick A. DeHeer, DPM to guide this project? I have a deep affinity for Haiti and her people. I have been here several times on various trips mainly associated with the Haitian Clubfoot Project and feel very comfortable in the country and interacting with the people. I have extensive training in reconstructive foot and ankle surgery. I lecture both locally and nationally on foot surgery. I currently work at the Johnson Memorial Hospital Wound Healing Center. |
