Haitian Global Health Alliance

The Haitian Global Health Alliance’s purpose is to support GHESKIO in Port au Prince, Haiti.

GHESKIO’s three-part mission includes clinical service, research, and training in HIV/AIDS, TB, other infectious diseases, and non-communicable diseases like cardiovascular disease.

The Haitian Global Health Alliance provides financial, and communications support for Les Centres GHESKIO (jess-key-oh) in Port-au-Prince and its network of clinics throughout Haiti.

Founded in 1982 and directed by HIV pioneers and experts, GHESKIO is the world’s first institution dedicated to fighting HIV/AIDS.

Today, GHESKIO is a world-class research, treatment, and training institution that serves more than 100,000 patient visits annually. Life-saving protocols and outstanding patient outcomes at GHESKIO have influenced treatment guidelines worldwide and have dramatically improved global health.

Directed by Haitians, GHESKIO provides voluntary HIV counseling and testing; HIV treatment and disease management; maternal-child health and nutrition; tuberculosis diagnosis, treatment, and prevention; cholera treatment and prevention; treatment of sexually transmitted infections; provision of clean water and sanitation; primary education; student scholarships; and many other health and social service programs.

To serve some of Haiti's poorest individuals, GHESKIO provides excellent, compassionate treatment and preventative services at no cost to its patients.
