Heartbreaking In Haiti

McFadden and forms the world of the absence of health care in Haiti. Work is all over Haiti have walked off the job. Patient feel abandoned and stranded in hospitals. The reasons behind the strikes are numerous. 41 Government hospitals are underfunded which led to, workers being underpaid, not getting paid, unsafe, and understocked. The straight has been going strong for 4 months and the government says that hospitals are beginning to reopen. Even though they claim hospitals are we opening or are we opened, people are turned away from the hospital simply because the hospital has no supplies. According to the article the government dedicate 426 percent of its budget to health care and plan to expand it to 10%.

Heartbreaking. That is the only
word that comes to mind after reading this article. “People are dying for nothing… Dying because they didn't have money to buy gloves”. Just so much in that one sentence. For this to be going on for 4 months it's insane. I had to be the worst for a worker to complain about their safety, as was mentioned in the article that sometimes family members of the patient would hold of workers at gunpoint in demand of better treatment. But the absence of funding means the absence of quality treatment. The cost of living in Haiti has gone way over the pay of doctors. The kind of emotional trauma delivered by such a crisis cannot be erased. I do not understand why such a low percentage is dedicated to healthcare in the first place. America has dedicated at least 20% of its GDP to healthcare. Shame on the government for letting it get this bad.
