#Haiti- Execution of a bandit at La Paix hospital: the Minister of Health announces strict measures

A disturbing incident occurred on December 2, 2024 at La Paix Hospital, where an alleged bandit was executed within the premises of the establishment. This action sparked the indignation of the Minister of Public Health, Doctor Duckenson Lorthé Blema, who strongly condemned the incident.

The minister recalled that hospitals must be protected spaces, dedicated to the preservation of life, regardless of the status or accusations against patients.

To prevent the repetition of such acts, the minister announced his intention to meet with the Director General of the Haitian National Police (PNH). This discussion will aim to establish strict measures to ensure the security of hospitals and guarantee respect for patients' rights.

At the same time, Dr. Blema took advantage of this intervention to announce the imminent resumption of services at the State University of Haiti Hospital (HUEH), scheduled for December. This reopening is seen as a major step forward in the restoration of the country's public medical infrastructure.
