Volunteers are helping by serving lunch trays to patients in surrounding tents.

A solar panel is generating electricity. In the background is part of the water purification system.

Some of the tents erected to substitute for departments or buildings destroyed or condemned.

Entering Radiology

Patients awaiting x-rays

A Haitian woman dressed in traditional garb waits patiently.

This artistically impressive HUEH building and garden is off-limits for repairs.
