Stuff is a key cornerstone in our Five S Model which is details that our colleagues require tools and resources they need for care delivery and administration. Therefore PIH fights to make treatment for TB, HIV, COVID-19, and other health conditions accessible to all.
Despite the immense progress of the past decades, glaring inequities persist within the health cluster. However, PIH’s fight for global health equity remains crucial as the organization continues to provide preferential options for the poor in health care addressing health inequalities.
Advocacy plays a vital role in building a larger community of globally minded citizens. At Partners In Health, it is our moral imperative to expose social injustice and to work toward correcting those systemic forces that create inequalities, no matter how impossible or challenging the task may appear to be.
