Our providers help guide parents through the consultation process by referencing clinical guidelines and applying their accumulated personal clinical experience. They are backed by a team of on-call doctors to ensure each patient receives the high quality, professional care they need. One provider, Marlene, who knows many families hesitate to seek care at clinics because they lack the financial means had this to say about MotoMeds. “The parents always hope their child will get better without intervention. But some of these children get sicker over the course of the day and by evening they are in a really bad situation with no options for care. MotoMeds has now provided the community with an option.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa59cb57fb2846f5b9ba640/d78de9d9-154c-4bb4-a424-b6554dda6d2a/Molly.jpg Team - Molly Klarman, MPH Project Director, Haiti Molly earned her undergraduate degree from Lewis & Clark College and a Masters of Public Health degree from Emory University.

Their invaluable knowledge of the local terrain is the key to accessing homes without an address system. Many homes are in locations only accessible by motorcycle. Drivers navigate winding, narrow roads on rugged terrain in the dead of night. Their heroism is saving the lives of children in rural Haiti. “My wife called MotoMeds for my 10-month old son who had a cold. The nurse recommended we follow up at a clinic the next morning where he received an x-ray and antibiotics. They told us he had a pulmonary infection. We would not have known that he had something so serious had we not consulted MotoMeds.” — Junior, MotoMeds Driver https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa59cb57fb2846f5b9ba640/4fadd48b-5322-496d-908d-28ee76a33f77/Screen+Shot+2021-01-20+at+2.54.23+PM.jpg Team - Eric Nelson, MD, PhD Tobias Keene, D.D.S.

These treatments are most effective when administered early. Children experiencing illness at nighttime are at risk of progression to an emergent state because most healthcare centers are closed. Preventing emergencies is a critical healthcare service in settings where emergency medical resources are often inaccessible and prohibitively expensive. https://www.motomeds.org/donate daily 0.75 2023-02-15 https://www.motomeds.org/media daily 0.75 2025-12-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa59cb57fb2846f5b9ba640/1762db01-db60-4a79-adcb-5fd935740189/Screen+Shot+2025-12-04+at+2.33.23+PM.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa59cb57fb2846f5b9ba640/c59df969-edec-461e-acc1-fd4e8b057373/Screen+Shot+2024-12-16+at+10.07.38+AM.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa59cb57fb2846f5b9ba640/ab8049ad-e785-405e-86a1-c7ed5f3e2d89/Screenshot+2022-12-16+at+1.54.56+PM.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa59cb57fb2846f5b9ba640/f6aaa7e9-afd8-4fb9-a1c2-92df945003a6/UCSF+Talk.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa59cb57fb2846f5b9ba640/403aabdb-6b3b-43aa-a57e-b84b97e46944/4.png https://www.motomeds.org/haiti daily 0.75 2023-01-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa59cb57fb2846f5b9ba640/7bea410d-4000-4f2c-bc9b-6110b2d6ad14/Untitled.png Haiti After three years straight (1095 days!) of providing nighttime access to care the need to digitize the clinical decision support tools is . The paper version is cumbersome time intensive and prone to guideline deviations with providers referencing 3 different documents simultaneously. We hypothesize a digital version will streamline the process and improve efficiency and accuracy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa59cb57fb2846f5b9ba640/aba886fa-6d08-4a17-b801-dee46694676e/Untitled+2.jpg Haiti This workflow adjustment allowed MotoMeds to open its first satellite delivery zone to respond to the August 2021 earthquake in Les Cayes. The central call center in Gressier fields calls from families in Les Cayes, 200 km away. Locally positioned on-call nurses and delivery drivers are then dispatched. This ‘hub and spoke‘ model allows MotoMeds to further maximize resources. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa59cb57fb2846f5b9ba640/48995907-6ddf-471e-8f99-51cb5bf2b3d9/Untitled+3.png Haiti In January of 2021 we began testing the scalable model of MotoMeds with the launch of the INACT3 study. In-person exams were limited to moderate cases (~20% of all cases) and those with mild illness received a delivery alone. This is an essential step towards managing limited resources while maintaining a high standard of care. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa59cb57fb2846f5b9ba640/1616691859496-1YB4SMFYAZGE3JCBWFRI/IMG_1203.jpg Haiti - What is the Need? From August 2018-July 2019, our team conducted a needs assessment in Gressier and Leogane, Haiti to better understand how the community uses healthcare with the goal of identifying potential strategies to improve access to qualified care. Haiti's healthcare system is comprised of both conventional (clinics, hospitals, pharmacies) and non-conventional (medicine vendors, traditional healers, etc.) providers. The needs assessment revealed that geographic barriers often prevent families from seeking care from their preferred provider type. MotoMeds provides solutions to these barriers by reaching even the most remote patients on motorcycle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa59cb57fb2846f5b9ba640/1614635242562-TRZYELH5XGF3HF7FZDXY/Droneshots.00_21_25_18.Still003-processed.jpg Haiti - Feasibility Study in Gressier Haiti In September 2019, a feasibility study was completed in Gressier Haiti. We established the infrastructure necessary to operate a call center and delivery service and began evaluating the safety of the MotoMeds assessment tools and clinical guidelines. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa59cb57fb2846f5b9ba640/1614710399196-KO9JOU0CQ13X686O9X2P/ScreenShot2020-05-12at3.16.46PM-600x400+%281%29.jpg Haiti Why https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa59cb57fb2846f5b9ba640/1616089829888-SPTOIOR3PLK80VS4O50H/DJI_0026_CC.jpeg Haiti How https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa59cb57fb2846f5b9ba640/1614635628652-25SDZIF9QUFDYQ1ITBZQ/IMG-4135-600x400.jpg Haiti Who https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa59cb57fb2846f5b9ba640/1614635606377-XA34YC8OY18DNH2PGB1N/ScreenShot2019-01-23at4.10.16PM-e1590070558831-600x400.png Haiti Where
