From homes to hospitals, on rough roads and steep slopes, from capitals to rural communities, these moments in time give a glimpse of how PIHers around the world joined together this year to respond to COVID-19, continue lifesaving services across all of our health care areas, and show that health is a human right
In 2020, PIHers around the world joined in a unified fight against an unknown virus, visiting patients at homes, health centers, and hospitals, to provide care and social support as COVID-19 spiraled into a pandemic.
All the while, PIH teams continued their vital care in other areas of health, from maternal care to HIV treatment and more, ensuring that lifesaving services didn’t stop, and that critical resources continued to reach those who needed them most.
Through incredibly challenging times, this glimpse at PIH’s work around the world reflects an unshakeable solidarity in a year that separated us—and brought us closer together.
