Every injection, every dressing, every childbirth leaves behind waste. In Haitian hospitals, managing this waste remains a challenge and a rarely debated topic. Guest on the Haitian Climate show on Magik9 on November 5, 2026, Dr. Marie-Esther Jean, a physician and public health specialist, presented the conclusions of a study on the subject conducted for her master's degree at Aix-Marseille University (AMU).

A framework at the Ministry of Public Health and Population (MSPP) and advisor at the Observatory on Health and Climate in Haiti, Dr. Jean notes that public debate often stops before the end of the care act. "We have talked about access to care, the availability of medications, equipment, and the quality of service. But we do not always give enough importance to what happens after care," she explains.
