The Town of Mirebalais, Haiti

One of things that Mirebalais is proud of is the establishment of a modern teaching hospital, which is expected to be completed next year. It can be recalled that in 2010, non-government organizations Partners in Health and Zanmi Lasante rolled out a plan to build a state-of-the-art community hospital in the town. The construction, however, was hampered by the 2010 earthquake. Construction resumed and will likely finish in 2013. The Mirebalais National Teaching Hospital, the first of its kind, will be able accommodate about 320 in-patients. It will also feature training facilities for medical students, nurses and physicians. This is a good thing as Haiti is in need of more medical professionals in order to enhance health services.

Meanwhile, Oasis Global Enterprises is about to start a housing development project in the town. Under the project, residential homes and bedroom apartments will be built in an outskirt area of 32 acres. Not only that, the project also involves the construction of a business center, entertainment venues, public parks, and restaurants, among others.
