The health needs of the entire country are marginal but for inmates meeting even basic needs has become

virtually impossible. In spite of life-threatening challenges, Health Through Prison Walls, with the help of a pro bono team of architects, planners and engineers have developed a clinic inside the walls of the National Penitentiary. This initiative began with a United Nations request following the 2010 earthquake and has taken more than a decade to accomplish. This panel will tell the story of the imagination and resilience of a team of professionals and the Haitian Prison Service and how, with virtually no resources, a functional clinic was created.
