2003 Alyans Sante Borgne’s (ASB) conducted
the irst week-long mobile hospital in Molas, a poor
mountain community a 10-h walk from the main hospital
in the town of Borgne in North Haiti. ASB is a partnership
between Haiti Outreach—Pwoje Espwa (H.O.P.E.), a
US-based NGO, and Haiti’s Ministry of Health. The paper
relects on this irst experience and the evolution of an
indigenous model of health care delivery, Sante Nan Lakou
(SNL)/Health at the Extended Family Level, a model that
prioritizes the needs of patients over those of the institution.
