Partners In Health (PIH) is a Boston-based nonprofit health care organization founded in 1987 by Paul Farmer, Ophelia Dahl, Thomas J. White,[1] Todd McCormack, and Jim Yong Kim.[2][3] The organization's goals are "to bring the benefits of modern medical science to those most in need of them and to serve as an antidote to despair."[4] It provides healthcare in the poorest areas of developing countries.[5] It builds hospitals[6] and other medical facilities, hires and trains local staff, and delivers a range of healthcare, from in-home consultations to cancer treatments.[7] It also removes barriers to maintaining good health, such as dirty water or a lack of food, and strengthens the rights of the poor.[8] The approach trades charity for “accompaniment,” which is described as a “dogged commitment to doing whatever it takes to give the poor a fair shake.”[9] While many of its principles are rooted in Liberation theology, the organization is secular.[10] It forms long-term partnerships with, and works on behalf of, local ministries of health.[11] PIH currently holds a 4 out of 4 stars rating from Charity Navigator, a nonprofits evaluator.[12] read more
