A brief information on Haitian Institute of Health and Environment (HIHE)
The Haitian Institute of Health and Environment (HIHE) is a learned society created in 2010 on the initiative of researchers and Environmental Health professionals as a non-profit organization at Queensland University Haiti after the earthquake of magnitude 7.5 which devastated Haiti. The association's ambition is to be the space where knowledge, know-how and know-how can be reconciled.
Haiti faces a serious environmental and health problem, when it rains, we do not need to have even 2 minutes of rain to have a flood in Haiti with thousands of victims.
Made up of 7 elected members, the Board deliberates and decides on general orientations, relations with other stakeholders in Environmental Health as well as sources of financing. Operational decisions are made by the IHSE office. It is made up of a President, a Vice-President, a General Secretary, a Treasurer and a General Delegate. e for international relations and 2 Advisors.

A global approach
At the crossroads of disciplines as varied as toxicology, epidemiology, expology, chemistry, medicine, human and social sciences, law and management, Environmental Health cannot do without a global approach. It is no longer a question of artificially bringing together two neighboring areas of interest, but of understanding their interactions in the light of all these disciplines.
One ambition: to reconcile knowledge, know-how and know-how in a holistic vision
The HIHE has given itself a broad mission:
- Promote research and develop prevention;
- Ensure the dissemination of knowledge;
