The Rectorate of the State University of Haiti (UEH) wishes to express once again its deep sadness following the earthquake of August 14, 2021 and its heavy human and material toll. It presents his sympathies and solidarity to the relatives and friends of the victims and wishes a speedy recovery to the injured. It sends a special thought to the leaders, students, professors and administrative staff of the School of Law and Economics of Les Cayes and all the sister universities affected.

The Rectorate of the UEH underlines the spontaneous and rapid action to the aid of the victims of the earthquake of nearly fifty professors, residents and interns of the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy (FMP) of Port-au-Prince. They were quickly joined by colleagues from the School of Medicine at the Henry Christophe Campus of the State University of Haiti in Limonade.

At the same time, the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy of Port-au-Prince is involved in raising awareness and collecting blood in the post-earthquake period. Doctors from this faculty are also at the bedside of those injured in the earthquake. The FMP is involved in the performance of more than sixty surgeries for earthquake victims.

The psychology departments of the Faculty of Ethnology and the Faculty of Human Sciences are preparing to provide psychological support. The Geosciences Research Unit of the Faculty of Sciences together with partners (Géoazur, Côte dAzur University and Observatory, CNRS, IRD, France) has already given a technical opinion on the earthquake on the same day. It remains mobilized for more in-depth technical studies with a view to more precise recommendations.

A delegation of students from the Faculty of Odontology supervised by the Vice-Dean for Research, Dr Jacques Denis and the Professor of Surgery, Dr Rénol Clergé visited the Department of the South in solidarity with our tried brothers and sisters.
