Your financial support is needed in order for Hospital Lumiere to succeed. Most patients can afford to pay something, but we have to subsidize the cost of services offered to make them affordable to the average Haitian family. In addition, patients who are unable to pay for their care are treated at no cost. While this is essential and necessary, it adds to the financial burden of operating the hospital. The result is a considerable per-bed operating deficit. That deficit is expected to reach almost $8,400 per bed in 2021.
