Partners In Health

Organizational Profile:

Partners In Health (PIH) is a non-profit, global health organization that fights social injustice by bringing the benefits of modern medical science first and foremost to the most vulnerable communities around the world. PIH focuses on those who would not otherwise have access to quality health care. PIH partners with the world’s leading academic institutions to create rigorous evidence that shapes more sound and all-inclusive global health policies. PIH also supports local governments’ efforts to build capacity and strengthen national health systems. As of today, PIH runs programs in 11 countries (Haiti, Kazakhstan, Lesotho, Liberia, Malawi, Mexico, Navajo Nation, Peru, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, United States), where it provides direct care to millions of patients, through public facilities and community engagement. PIH was invited by the Government of Liberia in 2014 to respond to the Ebola Virus Outbreak and thereafter accompany the Government to rebuild the health system. PIH Liberia works shoulder-to-shoulder with the Ministry of Health to strengthen person-centered primary health care systems in the rural Southeastern part of the country with the aim of establishing Maryland County as a model for universal health care through innovative community-based rural service delivery. PIH is committed to the fundamental principle of equal opportunity and equal treatment for every prospective and current employee. PIH prohibits sexual exploitation, harassment and abuse and all forms of discrimination, including on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin, ancestry, age, religion, creed, disability, sex and gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and/or expression, military or veteran status, or any other characteristic protected under applicable federal, state or local law. PIH works in and with a number of governments in and outside the U.S., and to the extent applicable, this statement is intended to incorporate the prohibition of any unlawful discrimination covered by applicable laws in such countries, states and municipalities.
