For several years now, PEPFAR (President Emergency Program for AIDS Relief) has been providing the Haitian Government with considerable technical and financial support as part of the national response to HIV/AIDS. Following the earthquake of 12 January 2010 and the outbreak of the Cholera epidemic during the same year, this financial assistance was extended to other projects (Nutrition, FETP, Surveillance, EMOCS, Cholera, Filariasis, Malaria, Tuberculosis) to support the actions of the Ministry of Public Health (MSPP) with a view to achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). This program, in addition to its operational components executed through accredited civil society organizations, also extends to various public health institutions.
