Creating small clinics all over Gonave

A business friend of mine mentioned having several small and modern clinics all over Gonave.  In the most remote places, to places on the island that have larger populations, these mini-clinics could be a solution to Gonave's medical ills.

Recently a non-profit church group built a hospital on the island.  This is wonderful, however if someone gets a minor infection, needs some stitches, maybe just feeling a little ill, then these mini-clinics would be better than a full scale hospital.  These clinics would be very modern.  See below of an idea of what the waiting room would look like.

These clinics would have 3 to 5 patient rooms, and staffed mainly with nurse practitioners.  These small facilities could be inside other buildings or even be stand alone.  Not only this, but the facilities could be completely self supporting with respect to electricity.  The idea would be to build about a dozen of these facilities around Gonave.  Due to these facilities being open during day hours, other large facilities such as Immediate Care facilities could be built.

Immediate Care facilities would be after hours, and again would provide the same services as the smaller clinics without a patient going to the hospital.  These facilities could have 5 to 10 rooms, and contain one doctor and a couple of nurses.

As this blog grows, so does the interest in Gonave.  Behind the scenes many folks are talking to the Haitian government to put ideas into reality.

Go Gonave!
