Novena for Raphael, the Fourth of Nine Nights

17 Though the fig tree does not bud
    and there are no grapes on the vines,
though the olive crop fails
    and the fields produce no food,
though there are no sheep in the pen
    and no cattle in the stalls,
18 yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
    I will be joyful in God my Savior.

19 The Sovereign Lord is my strength;
    he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
    he enables me to tread on the heights.

                          Raphael Louigene,A Hero has fallen

It is with a broken heart that we announce the passing of our beloved Raphaël Louigene on Sunday July 16th, 2023.

As we mourn this tremendous leader, we extend our condolences and sympathies to Raphaël's Family, as Raphaël was a father, a son, and brother, and friend to all the St Luke and NPH families.

 Raphaël was truly the definition of the St Luke philosophy. He embodied compassion and empathy: always caring for his neighbor in all circumstances. A valuable collaborator, Raphaël was in the center of every St Luke initiative whether social, medical, educational, or advisory - leading by example.

 To honor Raphaël's life, we would like to share the following testimonials of some of his immediate collaborators:

St Luke Hospital-Haiti Cholera

                                                      St Luke Hospital-Haiti Cholera

The St Luke hospital CTC has never closed between January 2023 and the present moment.  We received 500 patients suffering from acute dehydration due to cholera. Over the past weeks we have noticed a huge upsurge of Cholera cases at the St Luke Hospital. After the flood, from June 1st until June 10th we have already received 100 patients suffering from cholera. The suspected cases are referred to St Luke Hospital because many of the CTC established from the beginning of the pandemic are no longer functional. In fact, the number of cholera cases that we are receiving exceeds our capacity because our financial and materials are limited.
