What We Do Delivering high quality sustainable primary care to the people of Haiti In severely impoverished countries like Haiti the major causes of death and disability are treatable preventable illnesses Access to care is inconsistent and unreliable and the government s healthcare system is both desperately underfunded and fragmented According to research by the World Health Organization only 23 of Haiti s population and just 5 of the rural population have access to high quality primary care Cap Haitien Through a public private partnership with the government of Haiti C2C s healthcare delivery model rehabilitates public sector community clinics so that people have access to affordable high quality primary care close to home This innovative operating model reduces the cost of care for patients dramatically improves quality and is measurably improving health outcomes for families C2C s clinic model is a onestop shop community health center where patients can consult a physician and access well resourced laboratory services and a fully stocked on site pharmacy Community Health Workers CHWs augment clinicbased care by reaching patients at home and at school with follow up care health screenings and education In 2021 C2C s 7 community clinic sites served a catchment area of 250 000 people Port au Prince 4 C2C_AR2021_FINAL indd 4 6 21 22 6 40 AM

Sexual Reproductive Health Education for Adolescent Girls In 2021 C2C successfully piloted a firstof its kind sexual and reproductive health education after school program for adolescent girls ages 13 18 Young girls face unique risks in Haiti due to the lack of health education and inadequate knowledge about sexual development 10 of Haitian girls aged 15 19 have been pregnant Without knowledge about their bodies and their rights girls cannot have control over their reproductive lives One study from 2014 surveyed 200 adolescents in the Port au Prince area and found that the mean age of sexual initiation was 13 for boys and 14 5 for girls 53 of the boys reported not using a condom during their last sexual encounter Through peer cohort based education about anatomy contraception gender based violence sexually transmitted infections and consent C2C is supporting and empowering young girls toward a healthier future Our intervention was designed with input from parents teachers community leaders and clergy members C2C s sexual and reproductive health curriculum was strongly supported by the community and by parents who have seen the negative consequences that the lack of sexual education has on the young women in their lives Many wanted to educate their children on these subjects but didn t know how or did not have the knowledge themselves C2C worked with a Haitian American psychologist to build the course curriculum covering a range of sexual health and development topics human development gender roles risk taking relationships pregnancy HIV and STIs consent myths and misconceptions and family planning 10 of Haitian girls aged 15 19 have been pregnant 81 of Haitian girls have never received any education about sexual health 217 girls enrolled in the first year s pilot cohort each attended one education session per week for 20 weeks Prior to joining the program 81 of girls had never received any education about sexual health Through comprehensive pre post test data collection we were able to measure the efficacy of the program and to determine if the education provided over six months provided the enrolled girls with new knowledge attitudes and practices The pilot evaluation showed that amongst other indicators the curriculum increased girls understanding of condom use and STI prevention by 32 We are grateful for the support of three key partners the Conservation Food and Health Foundation Together Women Rise and the Lalor Foundation who have made this important program possible and will help us to enroll another 500 adolescents in 2022 8 C2C_AR2021_FINAL indd 8 6 21 22 6 41 AM

Vaccinations in the Community Expanding access to pediatric vaccinations has always been a key priority for C2C The childhood vaccination rate in Haiti remains stubbornly low at just 40 C2C has long provided vaccinations at our clinic sites but reaching children and families with the vaccination services they need requires new and novel approaches In 2021 we launched a program to bring our vaccination program into the community to reach people where they are and to break down the barriers to preventive and curative care seeking Our Community Health Workers followup with parents whose children haven t yet received a full course of childhood vaccinations They visit households schools and churches to make vaccines more accessible and to ensure that parents are empowered with information about how vaccines keep their children safe In 2021 C2C administered 16 980 vaccinations Using Electronic Medical Records to Enhance Patient Care C2C s customized open source electronic medical records EMR system provides an accurate snapshot of the true impact of our services on population health and is an essential tool for accurate case management reporting efficient supply chain management and quality patient care Quick access to patient records lab results and medications dispensed facilitates patient centered care allowing clinicians to make better data driven decisions The EMR allows us to more easily track patients between visits improving care continuity and reducing loss to follow up This is especially critical in Haiti where healthcare providers have difficulty finding patients in paper records due to inconsistent name spellings and lack of ID cards With our EMR we can access a patient file within seconds whether their most recent visit was two days ago or two years ago In Haiti where all public health facilities function with paper based record keeping and reporting our EMR is improving all aspects of service delivery 9 C2C_AR2021_FINAL indd 9 6 21 22 6 41 AM
