Kay Akouchman (Creole for Birthing House) offers holistic maternal care by certified Haitian midwives and nurses, ensuring the well-being of both mother and baby while preparing for a safe delivery.
It fills a critical gap in maternity care in Cap Rouge, where women gave birth at home without medical professionals or were to travel an hour down the mountain to Jacmel for services.
