PORT-AU-PRINCE (Reuters) - Marie Michelle Joseph's 9-month-old daughter is weak and has a persistent fever.

After being turned away from Haiti's only general hospital, her daughter Myleisha was finally accepted at Fontaine Hospital, a UNICEF-sponsored facility in the capital Port au Prince - in an area the rest of her family considers too unsafe to visit.
