Pih Partners in Health Canada

Partners In Health Canada works in partnership with sister organizations in settings of poverty around the world to bring health and social justice to vulnerable and marginalized communities. We deliver high quality comprehensive health care strengthen health systems and help our patients overcome barriers to good health including lack of access to clean water food housing education and economic opportunity. We work with community and government providers to strengthen public health infrastructure. Building and renovating facilities mobilizing equipment and medicine and providing both clinical and operations expertise collectively anchor our response. Because access to care is one of the biggest obstacles for poor people living in rural areas we bring care to them in their homes via locally hired and managed community health workers – people who can understand the medical and social needs of their neighbours better than anyone else. They provide medication monitor patients’ treatments regimens and refer the sickest people to clinics or hospitals for further care. High quality medical education and training for local health professionals is indispensable to our work. We bring the resources of the world’s leading medical research and teaching institutions directly to the communities we serve building each local workforce of doctors nurses and administrators around the highest standard of health care.
