Organizational Profile:
Partners In Health (PIH), headquartered
in Boston, MA, is an internationally recognized non-profit organization whose
mission is to provide a preferential option for the poor in health care. In
over nearly three decades of operating alongside public sectors in countries
around the world, PIH has developed a model to deliver high quality health care
to some of the world’s most marginalized communities. The work has yielded
unprecedented advances in health and prosperity by addressing socioeconomic
barriers to care, and integrating delivery, training, advocacy, and research.
Nowhere has this impact been more profound than in Rwanda, where Inshuti Mu
Buzima—PIH’s sister organization—and our government partners have driven
innovation for a decade. To disseminate these lessons, PIH and IMB are
launching the University of Global Health Equity (UGHE), a groundbreaking
health sciences university in Rwanda that will train the next generation of
global leaders in health care delivery, and will be a global intellectual hub
for delivery science. UGHE seeks individuals committed to the mission and
values of the organization (see PIH values) to join the team.
