Dear Friend,
On behalf of all our staff and patients, thank you for your generous giving to Partners In Health (PIH)! We are so grateful for your partnership.
January 12th marked the 15th anniversary of the devastating earthquake in Haiti. We take a moment to honor the lives lost, the communities transformed, and the resilience that has propelled us forward.
In the aftermath, the world came together to support Haiti—you included. Amid the tragedy, we glimpsed the potential for compassion and collective action to create a stronger health care system, ensuring even the most vulnerable could access high-quality care. This vision led to the establishment of Hôpital Universitaire de Mirebalais (HUM), a beacon of hope and a testament to the power of solidarity.
However, 15 years later, our hearts are heavy. Haiti is grappling with severe political instability, widespread violence, and a deepening humanitarian crisis. We are witnessing an unprecedented time of uncertainty and fear. In recent weeks, there have been attacks on hospitals throughout Haiti which has further stressed the country’s fragile health care system and threatened the safety of health care workers and patients.
Though the situation is challenging, our extraordinary staff continue to show up, serving as an antidote to despair for our patients and communities by providing lifesaving care and support. All 17 Zanmi Lasante (As PIH is known in Haiti) facilities remain open and committed to providing essential care.
Together, we will honor the past by forging a future of hope and health for all. On behalf of our staff and patients in 10 countries worldwide, thank you for choosing to support Partners In Health!
In Solidarity,
Partners In Health
