| Organization Description: | |
| Our mission is to provide a preferential option for the poor in health care. By establishing long-term relationships with sister organizations based in settings of poverty, Partners In Health strives 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. Partners In Health has worked in Mexico since 2011, operating out of 10 rural, public clinics in the Sierra Madre mountains of Chiapas—one of the most marginalized states in the country. In the past, doctors assigned to work in these clinics kept irregular schedules and lacked support and proper supplies. As a result, residents lacked faith in the local health system and traveled long distances for care. PIH’s work in Mexico has strengthened entire communities, renewed people’s faith in the health system, and inspired a generation of young doctors and nurses to continue working in global health. Regarding TB activities in July 2015 we launched the Global Fund funded proyect "Promote and implement ENGAGE TB through Civil Society to reduce barriers of access to TB services for key populations in 8 countries of the LAC region". In this project Partners in Health (PIH) and the TB Coalition of the Americas will work with civil society, the CCMs,the Ministries of Health (including the National Tuberculosis Programs (PNTs), in addition to other actors in the health sector), other relevant State Ministries, and the Parliamentary Front of TB of each country, among others, in a set of activities designed to: 1) Strengthen the interest of governments and of the NTPs in the incorporation of civil society in the national responses against TB under the ENGAGE TB approach; 2) Increase awareness of and institutionalize the activities, including monitoring, advocacy, communication and social mobilization, of TB civil society organizations (CSOs) at the national and regional level, through the creation of the Social TB Observatories; and 3) Support the exchange of kno |
