Your support of Partners In Health and our Ebola response efforts in West Africa has been critical to our ability to serve those impacted by the epidemic. While Ebola and other preventable and treatable illnesses continue to take the lives of West Africans each day, PIH—along with our partners—has made significant progress in containing the outbreak and also rebuilding broken health systems.
Throughout the past six months, we have deployed more than 250 U.S.-based clinicians to West Africa. Doctors, nurses and other staff are needed to train locals in infection control and prevention, treat Ebola patients, and ensure that people experiencing other health problems can receive care as well. Otherwise women in childbirth or people who are sick with common afflictions, including malaria, typhoid, and pneumonia, will not get basic care—which will lead to more unnecessary deaths.
Please take a moment to hear from one of those clinicians in this video. Thank you for your generosity, which enables PIH to continue bringing lifesaving care and long-lasting systems to some of the poorest people in the world.
