Partners In Health Canada works in partnership with sister organizations in settings of poverty around the world to bring health and social justice to vulnerable and marginalized communities. We deliver high quality, comprehensive health care, strengthen health systems, and help our patients overcome barriers to good health, including lack of access to clean water, food, housing, education and economic opportunity. We work with community and government providers to strengthen public health infrastructure. Building and renovating facilities, mobilizing equipment and medicine, and providing both clinical and operations expertise collectively anchor our response Because access to care is one of the biggest obstacles for poor people living in rural areas, we bring care to them in their homes via locally hired and managed community health workers – people who can understand the medical and social needs for their neighbours better than anyone else. They provide medication, monitor patients’ treatments regimens and refer the sickest people to clinics or hospitals for further care. High quality medical education and training for local health professionals is indispensable to our work. We bring the resources of the world’s leading medical, research, and teaching institutions directly to the communities we serve, building each local workforce of doctors, nurses, and administrators around the highest standard of health care. Though our partnerships take many forms, they’re united by a promise to go where we’re needed and to develop innovative, scalable and sustainable solutions to some of the world’s most intractable health challenges
