Sources de soins de santé pour les enfants maladies en Haïti

The private sector is the dominant source of care in Haiti. Understanding if and where sick children are taken for care is critical to improving case management interventions. This note presents a secondary analysis of the 2012 Demographic and Health Survey in Haiti which aims to examine what treatment or care is sought for sick children who have had at least one of these three treatable illnesses: fever, acute respiratory infection or diarrhea . These diseases are among the leading causes of death in children under five.
