The Nord department, through its capital, Cap-Haïtien, has become a real cause for concern since the malfunction of the Toussaint Louverture International Airport.
The Nord department has become a real cause for concern. Systemic problems that persist have in recent days become more visible, more serious, and therefore more pressing. Public health is part of this, and we must not wait for a disaster to realize it.
At the time of the tragedy at the Citadel last April, some people were asking questions about the causal framework, the sanctions to be taken, and the preventive measures to be implemented, but few were concerned about the Nord department’s ability to deal with these disasters with significant health impacts.”Cap-Haïtien is a health bomb,” said sociologist Michèle Oriol on the air of Magik 9, on Monday, May 4, 2026, deploring “a laxity” in the implementation of certain decisions that could negatively impact the health of the population.
