15 HEALTH IN HAITI Efficient sanitation systems, poor nutrition, and inadequate health services have pushed Haiti to the bottom of the World Bank s rankings of health indicators. According to the United Nations World Food Programme, 80 percent of Haiti s population lives below the poverty line. Consequently, malnutrition is a significant problem. Half the population can be categorized as food insecure, and half of all Haitian children are undersized as a result of malnutrition.
