The Reality Partners In Health is Fighting to Change
We believe health care is a human right. But for millions around the world, that’s not the reality. By leveraging the benefits of modern medical science and the experience of our patients, we strive for communities with zero preventable deaths.
50%
of people lack access to essential health care across the globe
94%
of maternal deaths occur in low- and lower middle-income countries
13,400
children die every day before reaching their fifth birthday
Our mission is to provide a preferential option for the poor in health care. By establishing long-term relationships with sister organizations based in settings of poverty, Partners In Health strives to achieve two overarching goals: to bring the benefits of modern medical science to those most in need of them and to serve as an antidote to despair.
