| An option available for women in need of medical care regarding their pregnancy is provided by the organization [http://www.msf.org/en/where-we-work/haiti Médecins Sans Frontières]has at least one location in Port-au-Prince that offers prenatal care for women with pressing health complications regarding their pregnancy. Unfortunately, their facilities are often overwhelmed with too many patients seeking aid and only have room for very few of them. However, these facilities do their best not to reject any woman in labor, regardless of their health status.<ref>https://www.ft.com/content/4ecb945a-1e97-3369-9117-8fb3c2b61908</ref><br>* Pran Men’m - Located in the Delmas 33 neighbourhood of Port-au-Prince, MSF’s 148-bed Centre de Référence des Urgences en Obstétrique (CRUO) provides care to pregnant women experiencing serious and life-threatening complications such as pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, obstetric haemorrhage, obstructed labour or uterine rupture. Services include postnatal care, family planning and prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV, as well as neonatal care and mental health support. In 2015, the team carried out more than 18,300 consultations, assisted over 6,000 births and admitted 2,500 babies to the neonatal ward. The 10-bed ‘Cholernity’ ward, which provides specialised treatment for pregnant women with cholera, admitted 144 patients. <ref>http://www.msf.org/en/where-we-work/haiti</ref><br><br>*Many women, if they can afford it, choose to fly to Jimani in the Dominican Republic to give birth where healthcare is more widely accessible.<ref>http://cronkite.asu.edu/buffett/dr/giving_birth_full.html</ref><br>[https://www.facebook.com/UNFPAHaiti/ *UNFPA]
