At the intersection of faith and care
A young woman, only 17, came to us in critical condition. She was suffering from severe vomiting, diarrhea, and a
high fever—symptoms that suggested typhoid fever, possibly from contaminated food or water. Sadly, she had been abandoned by her own family as she had given birth, prematurly, just three months earlier. A stranger had
directed her to Bethesda, knowing that here she could find help.
When she arrived at our emergency department, she had her fragile baby in her arms and only 500 gourdes ($4US)
to her name. Our staff stepped in to care for both mother and child. The baby was severely dehydrated and
malnourished because she had not been getting any milk. We immediately provided milk for the baby, who is now
enrolled in our malnutrition program, ensuring she gets the nutrition she needs to grow.
Thanks to medical support, the young mother has recovered, and we continue to provide for her baby’s health and nutrition. Our staff members are also sharing the hope of the gospel with her, encouraging her to take Jesus as her
Savior. Alongside spiritual support, we’re encouraging her to explore ways to return to school or start a small
business so she can create a future for herself and her child.
Bethesda’s lab is essential for
obtaining accurate diagnoses and,
consequently, effective treatment.
Many patients receive their lab test
results the same day, allowing them
to go home with the appropriate
medication. Our staff conducts over
900 tests each month for other
clinics and hospitals throughout
Northern Haiti aswell as hundreds
more for our own patients.
