HEALTH CARE IN HAITI; TRANSPORTATION COMPONENT REPORT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE SYSTEMS IMPROVEMENT PLAN

The first presents initial observations concerning transportation for Haiti"s health system and discusses a proposed merger of three separate systems: the Division of Public Health and Population (DSPP), the National Society for Endemic Diseases (SNEM), and the independently used vehicles of the International Organization. The Appendix provides a description of the DSPP unit and cost derivations for the proposed integrated system. The second report specifies how existing transportation resources could be combined with additional inputs to develop a cohesive system to serve Haiti"s health system. A five-year plan (1979-1983) for the implementation of the unified system is outlined. The bulk of the report considers various functional parts of the transportation system separately: (1) garage and transportation, (2) warehousing for spare parts, (3) garage complex, (4) garage maintenance, (5) gasoline storage and distribution, (6) spare parts, and (7) acquisition and cost of equipment. Organizational charts and other related figures, as well as copies of administrative documents, are included.
