Partners in Health (PIH) was founded in 1987 by Paul Farmer, Thomas J. White, and Todd McCormack to provide critically-needed primary care to denizens of the impoverished nation Haiti. This modest mission in Haiti has expaned to an international program, with posts in Russia, Lesotho, Peru, and Rwanda.
The focus of PIH is community-based healthcare. In other words, PIH recognizes the interconnectedness of society and science, of socioeconomics and health. This innovative approach improves treatment outcomes through the integrated tactics.
PIH is on the frontier of science and social justice, and therefore is the perfect way to start off this blog that shares its mission. PIH is a medical humanitarian organization funded by private donations, please donate.
