Dear Friends,

Thank you for your generous giving to Partners In Health! Your donation sustains our work as we partner with some of the world’s most vulnerable communities to provide high-quality health care as a human right.

We believe responding to pandemics and infectious diseases is continuous and collaborative work. Long-term investments in health systems are essential for responding to unpredictable diseases.

PIH's work begins at the community level where we implement feasible and practical solutions to healthcare challenges. Strong local and national relationships inform priorities and shape program design.

Our current response is based on four main pillars:

Protect patients, staff, and communities through ongoing disease surveillance; strong infection prevention and control programs; and training, mentorship, and support for community health workers.
Provide dignified, high-quality treatment for people with COVID-19, and all patients at PIH-supported facilities, and support equitable, affordable, and rapid access to testing, vaccines, and therapeutics.
Accompany public sector colleagues at each care delivery site; advocate for long-term health systems funding globally.
Incorporate early and comprehensive social support systems for impacted individuals and communities and engage with community outreach programs.

On behalf of our staff and patients in 11 countries worldwide, thank you for choosing to support Partners In Health! We are so grateful for your partnership and kindness.

In Solidarity,

Partners In Health
