Dear Friends,
Thank you so much for your contribution to Partners In Health’s response to the earthquake in Haiti. Your support ensures we remain dedicated to realizing the human right to health care!
Partners In Health (PIH) and our sister organization in Haiti, Zanmi Lasante (ZL), have mobilized an immediate response to this devastating emergency by deploying clinicians and supplies to the earthquake zone, transferring critically injured patients to PIH/ZL-supported health facilities, supporting the emergency response needs of long term partners based in the affected areas, and preparing for the long-term impact on Haiti’s health sector following this emergency. PIH/ZL’s emergency response centers on partnership with the Haitian Ministry of Health and support that reinforces local partners and the broader public health system in Haiti.
PIH/ZL continues to gather information about the extent of injuries, critical needs, and local partner capacity to hone its response to the most urgent needs following the earthquake. PIH/ZL will continue to adapt its activities to remain nimble to the evolving needs and priorities that arise and uphold our organizational commitment to reinforcing the long-term resilience of health systems for all Haitians.
In continuation of our emergency response and more immediate investment in facilities and care delivery, PIH/ZL will grow formalized training programs over a longer-term 12-month period to ensure Haiti has the capacity and trained staff to be prepared to respond to any future disaster.
On behalf of those we serve, thank you for your support and partnership in pursuit of equitable health systems that can fulfill the right to health care for all.
In Solidarity,
Partners In Health
