Insecurity Insight monitors attacks on health care in Haiti, and based on its data, the Haiti chapter (in English and French) of the 2024 Safeguarding Health in Conflict Coalition (SHCC) report Epidemic of Violence identified 39 incidents of violence against or obstruction of health care in Haiti in 2024, compared to 42 in 2023. In these incidents, three health workers were killed and four were kidnapped. Health facilities were attacked on 20 occasions.
– Violence, massacres and gang conflict continued to impact health services in 2024.
– Rising armed violence in health facilities remains a concern despite a decline in kidnappings.
– Haiti’s health care system is on the verge of collapse as violence forces facility closures and pregnant women flee to the neighboring Dominican Republic to obtain care.
