Partners In Health (PIH) denounces the acts of violence and harm inflicted upon Haitian people and urges everyone to avoid racist tropes and explanations. PIH is a social justice organization that responds to the moral imperative to provide high-quality health care globally, starting with those who need it most. We refuse to accept that any life is worth less than another, which is one of many reasons why the PIH community has been infuriated by the false claims in the U.S. media that demean and instill fear among Haitians and Haitian Americans.

With this new oxygen center, we’re strengthening the health system for future generations. Read more: https://bit.ly/4eqZbdH

Promise Douglas, a 9-year-old boy, and Vitalina Chaona, a 49-year-old woman, from Malawi endured years of pain due to severe heart conditions. Douglas, suffering a congenital heart defect, and Chaona, battling rheumatic heart disease, received inadequate treatment for their conditions until Abwenzi Pa Za Umoyo (APZU), as we're known in Malawi, stepped in. Although APZU provided medications to manage their symptoms, surgery was crucial for a full recovery. With no surgical options available in Malawi, the APZU team accompanied both patients as they traveled to Tanzania for lifesaving heart procedures. Discover more about their journey to recovery: https://bit.ly/3zGOq7S

Community Health Workers (CHWs) provide trusted, culturally congruent care that improves health outcomes and lowers costs. Federal and state lawmakers must support and implement policies that better integrate the delivery of community-based services by community-based providers, like CHWs, into the design and infrastructure of the U.S. health care system.
