Dear President Joseph Biden: Stop using public health as a pretext to block asylum seekers at the United States borders. 

That’s the message from a new Perspective piece in The New England Journal of Medicine, written by Partners In Health leaders and collaborators. 

PIH helps bolster equity-centered public health systems by supporting community health workers, from those who revolutionized care for HIV/AIDS and TB patients in Haiti to those providing social support across the United States.

The discovery of the new COVID-19 variant omicron confirms PIH's stance that the only way to end the global pandemic is by ensuring equitable access to vaccines, treatments, and diagnostics to everyone in every country.
