Partners In Health Canada

We are a social justice and global health organization striving to make health care a human right. We refuse to accept that any life is worth less than another.

Partners In Health (PIH) was founded in 1987 to support a one-room health clinic serving a destitute squatter settlement in rural Haiti. PIH’s founders believed the conditions in the settlement — the crushing poverty, absence of modern health care and pervasive poor health — were not inevitable. These were social conditions subject to human intervention and so could be changed — in Haiti or anywhere in the world. PIH Canada opened our offices in 2011 to strengthen the work and add our voice to the Canadian movement for health as a human right. We bring the benefits of modern medicine to those who have suffered from the overt and subtle injustices of the world, in the past and in the present.

Global health progress didn’t happen by accident.
It happened because governments chose to invest, year after year, in health systems, community care, and prevention.

Those investments are now being rolled back, at the exact moment health systems are under the most pressure. The result isn’t just fewer programs. It’s disrupted care, delayed treatment, and lives put at risk.

Swipe through to understand what’s changing, who is affected most, and why these decisions matter far beyond budgets.

She thought she had time.
She didn’t.

This is Isabel’s story. And it’s far too common. When care is delayed, outcomes can change.

💬 What do you think stops women from getting screened earlier?

Ebola wasn’t inevitable. And neither were the conditions that allowed it to spread.

Fragile health systems are not accidents of geography or fate. They are the result of centuries of man-made systems: colonialism, extraction, and political neglect that drained resources and weakened care long before the outbreak began.

When crises hit, those choices become deadly. Emergency response matters, but justice requires prevention, repair, and long-term investment in strong, community-led health systems.

If the conditions were created, they can be undone. What does that take?

Let’s play what health care service you will get. Pause the video and comment which one you get. Can you live without the rest? 🧐

We are honoured to partner with York University on the Agents of Change course. This term’s student engagement has been exceptional. From digital stories rooted in values, to on-campus activities, to Giving Tuesday fundraising challenges.

Students demonstrated creativity, commitment, and real leadership at every step.

Let’s give the leaders of tomorrow the tools to actually lead.
We are excited for what the next semester holds!

Global health cuts don’t stay on paper. they reach the bedside. they reach the pharmacy shelf. they reach people living with HIV.

As Zackie Achmat shared in toronto, activism is how we protect each other — across borders, across struggles, across every injustice that tries to divide us. 🌎

This Giving Tuesday, our community showed up in the most powerful way. 🧡
Students led creative fundraisers across campuses, long-time supporters rallied once again, and so many first-time donors joined us in standing with patients around the world.

Because of you, we surpassed our goal, unlocked the full match, and doubled the impact: more mothers delivering safely, more cancer screenings, and more care reaching families who deserve it.

We’re so thankful for every one of you.
Your solidarity is the reason this work moves forward. 🧡✨

When care shows up at the right moment, everything changes.💛

Across Rwanda, thousands of families raising children with disabilities face barriers no one should have to overcome alone. PIH Rwanda is working to change that. With therapy, home visits, counselling, and support that strengthens whole families, not just symptoms.

This carousel shares one mother’s journey from isolation to possibility, and what real, sustained care can make possible.

💛 Give by Dec 2 and your donation will be doubled to help more families access the care they deserve.

Months later, Fatimata can walk again. Her daughter, Bintu, is healthy, laughing, and full of energy.

What began as a story of loss became a story of resilience — one made possible by steadfast care and people like you who believe that health care is a human right.

“I want to go back to school and become a lawyer,” she says. “I want to help others the way they helped me.”

Her journey mirrors thousands more across Sierra Leone, where PIH’s work is rebuilding trust in the health system — one mother, one clinic, one community at a time.

💛 Donate by Dec 2 and your gift will be doubled for Giving Tuesday: https://pihcanada.org/stepup

👉 Like, share, and follow to stand with Fatimata — and every woman fighting for the right to safe, dignified care.
