Dr. Watson Exantus, New Director for Notre Dame of Petit Goave Hospital, Haiti

The 23rd of July saw Dr. Watson Exantus rise to the Managing Director position at Notre Dame of Petit Goave hospital. He was appointed by the Director Gen. under Public Health and Population Ministry, Mrs. Marie Giualene Raymond. The Director Gen. expressed her grief in the downfall of Petit of Goave Hospital from a referral state into a mere health center. Some years back, Petit of Goave had the capacity to adequately handle Goave resident's needs and acted as a major solace point for other health centers which had limited capacity to put major health issues under control.

The appointment of Dr. Watson for the top position was one of the strategies aimed at improving health facilities in Haiti. Director Gen. expressed her great hopes in her appointee and was confident that Dr. Watson has all that is needed to bestow Petit Goave Hospital to its glory in terms of health service provision and participating in the well being of the community. Taking over the responsibility, Dr. Watson assured the Ministry that he would be compiling a statement to address the immediate needs of Petit Goave Hospital which will act as a major stepping stone for its rise. He also promised to fully dedicate himself in facilitating effective and efficient health services provision.

A couple of weeks before the appointment of the new Managing Director, the hospital had been broken into and stained with fecal material on its walls. To some extent, this was an evident expression of dissatisfaction of the community to the services rendered by the hospital which attracted the attention of the ministry and had had to act promptly.
