Sanofi Global Health Unit – FHADIMAC Partnership: Bringing Diabetes Care to Patients in and around Jeremie area (Haiti)

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Haiti because of limited access to care outside of Port-au-Prince. FHADIMAC, a non-profit foundation, plans to open a branch in Jeremie to address this gap in care.

Objectives
  • Implementing, in the south region of Haiti, a FHADIMAC branch

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Haiti. Approximately 7% of the Haitian population has diabetes (1) and this number is expected to rise rapidly over the next few decades. 40% of patients with diabetes are also hypertensive.

Access to diabetes care is extremely limited for most of the population, as medical treatment centres are located primarily in Port-au-Prince with a few in the North and Centre regions leaving the South Department without any type of care management for people living with Diabetes.

FHADIMAC, located in Port-au-Prince, is a well established private non-profit foundation since 1987
that serves as the main center for diabetes and cardiovascular diseases care, awareness, and screening.

FHADIMAC will implement in the South region of Haiti, specifically in the town of Jeremie a FHADIMAC branch (FJ).
