OVERVIEW
About Partners In Health Canada:
Partners in Health Canada is a 4-star charity with low overhead costs and best practices in financial transparency. Its annual report and accountability to donors is below average which is shown in the B- results reporting grade.
Started in 2011, PIH Partners In Health Canada (PIH Canada) is a sister organization of Partners in Health (PIH), a U.S. based charity. PIH establishes relationships with sister organizations in 12 countries to bring modern medicine to the sickest and poorest communities. PIH believes that access to quality care is a universal human right.
In F2021, PIH Canada focused on five program areas: Emergency Response (covid-19 response); Women’s Health; Children’s Health; Community Health Workers (CHWs); and Cancer and Chronic Diseases.
In Haiti, Zanmi Lasante (PIH’s Haitian sister organization) runs 14 sites that provide medical care for gender-based violence. In Liberia, PIH opened a new maternity ward in F2021.
In Peru, Socios En Salud (Peru’s branch of PIH) tested 41,330 people for covid-19 and provided care to 18,000 people who tested positive. In one Mexican village, Compañeros En Salud (Mexico’s branch of PIH) successfully vaccinated 500 people against covid-19 over the course of two days.
In F2021, PIH Malawi developed and implemented a psychological first-aid training that it delivered to 1,200 CHWs. These CHWs served a population of 140,000 people. PIH Malawi also trained CHWs to address maternal and neonatal health, STDs, family planning, tuberculosis, pediatric malnutrition, and non-communicable diseases. These CHWs see an average of 1,800 patients per month.
In Rwanda, PIH’s Butaro Cancer Centre of Excellence has served over 10,000 patients in the past eight years.

Results and Impact
PIH reports that in Sierra Leone, a woman faces a 1 in 20 chance of dying in childbirth. At PIH’s model primary care facility in Sierra Leone there have been zero maternal deaths since 2016. The facility has also seen a 38% increase in prenatal care uptake and a 69% increase in facility-based deliveries. Given the success of this clinic, PIH plans to construct a 120-bed Maternal Centre of Excellence in Sierra Leone.
PIH builds maternal waiting homes where women can stay for two weeks before their due date to ensure delivery at the health facility. Through these efforts, PIH contributed to an increase in the rate of health-facility-based births in Thaba-Tseka, Lesotho. It rose from 5% in 2009 to 97% in 2021.
While Ci highlights these key results, they may not be a complete representation of PIH Canada’s results and impact.
