'''Partners In Health''' ('''PIH''') is a global [[health care]] organization founded in 1987 by [[Paul Farmer]], [[Ophelia Dahl]], [[Thomas J. White]], [[Jim Yong Kim]], and [[Todd McCormack]]. It is headquartered in [[Boston]], Massachusetts, USA, and focuses on providing a preferential option for the poor in health care. Through its programs in various countries, PIH seeks to achieve two overarching goals: to bring the benefits of modern medical science to those most in need of them and to serve as an antidote to despair.

==History==
The origins of Partners In Health trace back to the early 1980s when Paul Farmer and Ophelia Dahl met in [[Haiti]] while working in a small, rural community called Cange. Witnessing the devastating impact of poverty and disease on the local population, they, along with their co-founders, established PIH to provide direct health care services and to undertake research and advocacy activities on behalf of those who are sick and living in poverty.

==Mission and Approach==
The mission of Partners In Health is to provide a preferential option for the poor in health care. This mission is based on the principle that all people, regardless of their economic status, deserve high-quality health care. PIH's approach combines clinical and community-based strategies to combat disease and poverty. It includes providing direct health care services, improving health systems, conducting research, and advocating for global health equity.

==Programs and Impact==
Partners In Health operates in several countries around the world, including [[Haiti]], [[Rwanda]], [[Lesotho]], [[Malawi]], [[Sierra Leone]], [[Liberia]], [[Peru]], [[Mexico]], and the [[Navajo Nation]] in the United States. In each of these locations, PIH works in close collaboration with local governments and communities to build and strengthen health systems. Its programs focus on a wide range of health issues, such as [[HIV/AIDS]], [[tuberculosis]], [[maternal health]], and [[non-communicable diseases]], among others.

==Partnerships and Collaborations==
A key to the success of Partners In Health has been its ability to form effective partnerships and collaborations. PIH works closely with local and national governments, international agencies, non-governmental organizations, and academic institutions to achieve its mission. These partnerships help to ensure that PIH's programs are sustainable and aligned with national health priorities.

==Challenges and Criticisms==
Despite its successes, Partners In Health faces several challenges, including the sustainability of its programs, the need for increased funding, and the complexities of working in countries with weak health systems. Additionally, some critics argue that PIH's model of providing high-cost, high-quality care to the poor is not scalable or sustainable in the long term. However, PIH maintains that its approach demonstrates the feasibility and moral imperative of providing comprehensive care to those in greatest need.

==Conclusion==
Partners In Health has made significant contributions to global health, demonstrating that it is possible to deliver high-quality health care to the world's poorest communities. Its work has not only saved countless lives but has also challenged the global health community to raise its standards of care for the poor. As PIH continues to expand its programs and impact, it remains a powerful advocate for health equity and social justice.
