The Haiti Strategic Health Information System (HIS) Program team consolidated and integrated Haiti’s disconnected health information assets—empowering the national System d’Information Sanitaire Nationale Unique (SISNU).

This makes Haiti highly vulnerable from a health security standpoint, especially considering its challenging history of devastating earthquakes, hurricanes, and contagious diseases, including the 2010 cholera outbreak.
