UMontréal project receives $30M to strengthen health systems in Colombia, Haiti, Guatemala

The Université de Montréal Unité de Santé Internationale has received $30M from the Government of Canada over seven years to help strengthen health systems in Colombia, Haiti, and Guatemala. The project—to be implemented in partnership with Lawyers Without Borders Canada—is focused on sexual and reproductive health and rights for marginalized women, adolescents, and children in these countries. This funding is part of a broader recent $248M federal initiative to make global health systems more resilient. “International assistance in health care is an investment that will create stronger communities for generations to come,” said Canada Minister of International Development Ahmed Hussen.
