Health through Walls works with prison authorities in resource-poor countries to implement replicable and sustainable systems to develop their capacity to provide prisoners with meaningful health services such as medical screening, treatment, and discharge planning leading to continuity of care upon release. Our priority is the prevention, identification and treatment of infectious and contagious disease -- particularly HIV, AIDS, and tuberculosis.
HtW provides comprehensive care to the prisoners in Haiti’s National Penitentiary, women’s and children’s prisons for the purpose of first identifying, diagnosing, treating deadly and contagious diseases within the prison population and secondly to provide much needed education awareness in HIV/AIDS sexual prevention, Tuberculosis and in water sanitation.
