In 2013, PIH opened University Hospital of Mirebalais, a 205,000-square foot, 300-bed teaching facility in an area that previously had few options for access to quality health care. The hospital offers advanced care across multiple specialties, including a full-service emergency department, critical care units, oncology, general and orthopedic surgery, among many others. It also brings services previously unavailable in Haiti’s public system, including digital imaging and a portable CT scanner, an open-source electronic medical records system, and high-tech classrooms to train the next generation of Haitian doctors and nurses.  

University Hospital, which received international accreditation as a teaching institution in 2019, is home to six residency programs, from general surgery and internal medicine, to pediatrics and emergency medicine. Through residency and training programs in Mirebalais and in Saint Marc, PIH is providing high-quality training to increase the number of well-trained clinicians working in Haiti.
