'Constant pain': Victims of Haiti's gangs face health system in crisis
Suffering from gunshot wounds to the leg and buttocks, 31-year-old Olivier Vilminio sought treatment in a hospital in Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince. But even there, he was not safe from a surge of gang violence that has upended life in the impoverished Caribbean nation and made medical care even more difficult to attain. As the necessary treatments are either too expensive or unavailable, the father of two young daughters says his wounds have left him in constant pain.
