Medical Aid to Haiti (MATH) is a charitable organization that provides primary medical care to over 10,000 people a year via a mobile clinic staffed with Haitian doctors and nurses.  MATH is “helping Haitians heal Haitians”, and envisioning a Haitian society that can provide desperately needed primary medical care for its own people.
