Catherine Porter in Haiti: Death and decay in Haiti's hospitals

Powerful article by the Toronto Star's Catherine Porter in Fermathe, Haiti.

"'I remember one lady suffering from heart failure,' recounts Dr. Louine Martineau, a doctor with Partners in Health who interned at HUEH [Hopital de l’Universite d’Etat d’Haiti]. 'The medication was only 25 gourdes (62 cents) for a bottle, but she couldn’t afford it and she died.'"
