Partners In Health Haiti Earthquake Recovery

"Improbably, the 2010 earthquake that killed an estimated 300,000 people in Haiti has also helped bring Michelle and Marian a shot at a normal life."

Thank you for supporting Partners In Health, specifically our work to continue building long-term, quality health systems in Haiti in the years of recovery from the 2010 earthquake -- admist many other challenges. 

Please take a moment to read a heartwarming story about a complex surgery successfully carried out at University Hospital in Mirebalais, Haiti, constructed by Partners In Health in partnership with the Haitian government, as part of our response to the devastating 2010 earthquake.  

The generosity of supporters like yourself has enabled PIH to drastically improve the standard of care in Haiti and other resource-poor settings.  While there is much work to be done, the successful separation of conjoined twin sisters this past May is a shining example of what is now possible in rural Haiti:

Thank you so much for your support of Partners In Health (PIH) and our work to build back better in Haiti after the devastating earthquake that nearly destroyed the capital of Port au Prince in January of 2010.  With the help of supporters and partners, PIH and our sister organization in Haiti, Zanmi Lasante, have made great progress over the past five years. While there is still much to be done, we continue to look forward with optimism, knowing that together, we'll save and improve more lives every day. 

Please take a moment to watch and listen to a reflection from our Co-Founder Ophelia Dahl:
