Your support for Partners In Health has deep and measurable impact. Our global work to improve health care in marginalized communities is possible because of you.
The data on these pages demonstrate how your generosity last year enabled us to deliver transformative care to patients around the world. Our nearly 19,000 staff are accompanying patients daily, providing expert medical care across hundreds of PIH facilities, and responding to infectious disease outbreaks, all while working with local and national governments to improve the health care policy.
Thank you for partnering with us in this ongoing fight for a more just and healthy world.

malnutrition patients currently in care
PIH tackles malnutrition through a multipronged approach to alleviate the clinical, economic, and social factors that drive hunger.
patients enrolled in mental health care
We’re bringing mental health care, awareness, and education to vulnerable communities, while reducing the stigma that discourages patients from seeking care.
social support
packages
PIH’s social support program helps us treat the whole patient, not just their condition. We provide necessities and resources including food, housing, and financial support for patients and their families so they can feel better and remain healthy.
COVID-19 screenings

chronic disease patients in care
PIH continues to provide a global model for chronic disease treatment in settings of poverty. We show the world how to care for patients with conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and asthma in communities where treatment was once non-existent.
cancer patients currently in care
As the number of detected cancer cases rises in impoverished countries, PIH’s work to provide advanced oncology care and prevention is becoming more essential.
"Across our 11 sites, we are deeply committed to improving access to health services for people in underserved communities. We also believe that ending the vicious cycle of poverty extends beyond medical care, as it includes tackling the socio-economic challenges that perpetuate it. In countries like Malawi, PIH offers short- and long-term social support by providing patients with basic resources like food and housing and covers school fees and other related costs that help widen access to education. We’re optimistic for the future, because we know we are not doing this alone. With your trusted partnership, we will continue to deliver timely care to those who need it most."
DR. LUCKSON DULLIE
Executive Director, Abwenzi Pa Za Umoyo (PIH Malawi)
"My main objective is to guarantee quality care for women. The Casa Materna team is grateful for your support because it enables us to collaborate with traditional midwives to accompany women during pregnancy and childbirth. It allows us to accompany women with very deep stories and create a more just world where everyone has the right to access dignified care. In order to improve health outcomes for women, we have to change the way we think about maternal health and well-being."
ADRIANA FABIÁN
Birthing Home Clinical Supervisor, Compañeros En Salud (PIH Mexico)
"I was 9 years old when I knew I wanted to dedicate my life to ensure everyone had equitable access to live healthy lives. Almost two decades later, as a PIHer, I am partnering with governments, community organizations, and community leaders to strengthen our health system and ensure it is more just and equitable. It will take long-term, sustainable, community-driven solutions to dismantle the very injustices and systems of oppression robbing our communities years off their lives. With you, as a contributor and supporter, we can continue to work together towards a better future where our grandparents can grow old and our children’s health isn’t determined before they are even born."
