The generosity and effectiveness of Partners in Health absolutely blows my mind.
They really mean it. This incredible video from the New York Times provides visual evidence. And made me cry like a baby.THE PIH VISION: WHATEVER IT TAKES
At its root, our mission is both medical and moral. It is based on solidarity, rather than charity alone. When a person in Peru, or Siberia, or rural Haiti falls ill, PIH uses all of the means at our disposal to make them well—from pressuring drug manufacturers, to lobbying policy makers, to providing medical care and social services. Whatever it takes. Just as we would do if a member of our own family—or we ourselves—were ill.
I cannot recommend reading Tracy Kidder's Mountains Beyond Mountains highly enough if you're interested in learning about PIH or Haiti in general.
