At its root, our mission is both medical and moral. It is based on solidarity, rather than charity alone. When a person in Peru, or Siberia, or rural Haiti falls ill, PIH uses all of the means at our disposal to make them well—from pressuring drug manufacturers, to lobbying policy makers, to providing medical care and social services. Whatever it takes. Just as we would do if a member of our own family—or we ourselves—were ill.
Partners In Health Vision - Whatever it takes. I admire the people at PIH more than I could possibly say, and a lot of what I admire is summed up in this statement. They do whatever it takes to get medical care to the world’s poor. Simple (and enormous) as that.
