The Canadian Red Cross mobile health clinic has now been set up and operating out of Jeremie in the Grand Anse region. The clinic makes health services immediately accessible to some of the most vulnerable who are in high need of health assistance. Patients have been seen at the mobile clinic have been treated for infections, stress, anxiety, pneumonia and muscular problems. These photos are from when the mobile clinic was in the community of Mouline. The remote community in the mountains was badly affected by Hurricane Matthew. This is the first time the community is receiving health services nearly one month after the hurricane.

The mobile clinic will provide services in hard to reach places for common infections such as cholera and malaria, to offer basic prenatal care, treatment of minor trauma and wounds, immunization, and care for people with chronic diseases.
