2025 Annual Report

Partners In Health’s 2025 Annual Report highlights progress in global health equity—expanding care, training health care workers, and strengthening health systems worldwide.

Message from the CEO

 

"As you continue to explore the 2025 Annual Report, we hope you can see what can be done when compassion meets courage."
Sheila Davis, CEO, Partners In Health

Dear Friends,

As I reflect on the past year, I’m reminded of the strength and courage that define Partners In Health. Amid global uncertainty and unprecedented challenges, the PIH community—including supporters like you—remains stronger than ever.

This annual report highlights the extraordinary impact we’re making together as we continue to bend the arc toward justice. The stories embody the spirit of the “rebel caregiver,” showing what’s possible when we center patients and stand firm in our values. Whether treating multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, reaching remote communities, or advocating for accessible medicines, PIH’s mission to advance health equity endures. Your partnership is a beacon of hope—thank you for walking with us on this journey. 

In Solidarity,

Sheila-Signature-2022-TEXT-GRAY

Around the World

Partners In Health (PIH) fights injustice by providing high-quality medical care and support while working hand-in-hand with local governments to strengthen health systems. PIH is translated differently across the four continents where we work—adapting to the local context and language. On the map, you will see our sites from July 2024 to June 2025. PIH also serves in partnerships as a technical advisor in locations around the world that aren’t labeled on this map.

Stories of Influence

Partners In Health was founded to advance health care as a human right—for everyone, everywhere. Your partnership is a testament to what is possible when we refuse to accept lower standards for others. Together, we are building a future where dignified care is not the exception, but the norm—informing global policy, improving access, and shaping the future of health care delivery.

Megaphone for PIH
The Future of Public Health Funding

After sweeping U.S. funding cuts threatened decades of global health progress, Partners In Health mobilized advocates to protect lifesaving care—driving 70,000+ messages to Congress and defending the right to health.

The Future of Public Health Funding

Starting in January 2025, the current U.S. administration has carried out an unprecedented attack on foreign aid and health funding, destabilizing decades of progress in global health equity. By first cutting Medicaid and then revoking $8 billion in foreign aid funding, systems of care were dismantled, patients abandoned, and clinics shuttered.

To address the risks to our hard-won progress in health system strengthening and to support the health of millions, PIH is working with our partners and advocates like you to build a movement by drawing on our extensive experience: mobilizing our networks, standing in solidarity with those most affected, and pushing forward with urgency.

Together, we facilitated over 70,000 calls and emails to Congress and over 600 meetings with congressional offices to support health policy and funding. PIH has always fought for the right to health. Thanks to your support, we are continuing that fight—navigating these setbacks with the same determination we have demonstrated over four decades of providing care in challenging settings.

Patient in Lesotho
Shaping the Future of TB Care

For 30 years, Partners In Health has redefined what’s possible in the fight against tuberculosis. From new care models in Lesotho to global policy change, PIH shows TB can be cured—and ultimately eliminated.

Shaping the Future of TB Care

For over three decades, PIH has been rewriting the global playbook on tuberculosis (TB)— proving that the world’s deadliest infectious disease can be defeated. Millions fall ill each year simply because of where they live, with those in impoverished communities routinely being denied access to lifesaving care. 

PIH has demonstrated that TB treatment is possible for everyone—before many thought it necessary, or even feasible—whether in rural Peru or a city in Kazakhstan. In August 2024, the World Health Organization approved safer, shorter TB treatment regimens, which emerged from groundbreaking PIH-led research. This critical decision was shaped by sustained advocacy from PIH and our partners. 

Then, in 2025, PIH Lesotho reimagined the evidence-based Search, Treat, Prevent strategy—screening for TB in communities, initiating timely treatment, and working to stop transmission—and began implementing it across an entire district to test it as a new model of change. This integrated approach has informed TB policy worldwide and is being tested as a national model with the potential to inform global elimination strategies. These efforts reflect our belief that no one deserves to die from a treatable disease.

Training the Next Generation

Africa carries 24 percent of the global disease burden but has only 3 percent of the world’s health workers. The University of Global Health Equity is changing that—training leaders from 30 African countries to build stronger, fairer health systems.

Africa’s health workforce bears 24 percent of the global disease burden but represents only 3 percent of the world’s health workers.

The University of Global Health Equity (UGHE) bridges this gap by training future health leaders from 30 African countries. Ranked fourth among universities in sub-Saharan Africa by Times Higher Education, UGHE— with the support of the Rwandan government, Cummings Foundation, and the Gates Foundation—is equipping health workers to build equitable health systems worldwide.

Mother in Sierra Leone
10 Years of Impact in West Africa

When Ebola struck West Africa in 2014, Partners In Health showed that lasting care requires strong systems, not quick fixes. A decade later, our work in Liberia and Sierra Leone continues to strengthen hospitals and reduce maternal deaths.

10 Years of Impact in West Africa

Your generosity and accompaniment have sustained over a decade of patient-centered care in Liberia and Sierra Leone.

When Ebola devastated West Africa in 2014, PIH’s response proved a critical point: health emergencies require strong systems, not just emergency response. Since PIH began working alongside both governments, your support has helped strengthen health systems in both countries, including opening the first and only multidrug-resistant tuberculosis ward outside Monrovia, Liberia’s capital, and contributing to lowering Sierra Leone’s maternal mortality rate by more than half, even before opening the Paul E. Farmer Maternal Center of Excellence.

Ten years on, these sites stand as a powerful reminder of what long-term partnership can achieve.

Stories of Care

We provide care to communities who are often left behind. With strength, compassion, and a deep desire to heal the world, patients remain at the heart of all our work. You help make this transformative care possible for those who have suffered from past and present injustices.

After a tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis, the crowded home of 73-year-old Thobei Tlake became a high-risk environment for exposure. Ts’eliso Tobaka and ’Maposholi Posholi, PIH Lesotho TB screeners, visited Tlake’s home to screen the eight others living there for infection. 

When their tests returned negative, Posholi recommended that they take daily TB preventive medication to mitigate their risk. Through thoughtful intervention, PIH Lesotho is bringing hope to families like Tlake’s for a healthier, TB-free tomorrow.

Thoughtful Care for a High-Risk Pregnancy

After learning she was pregnant, 23-year-old Sia Fengai received high-risk care from PIH Sierra Leone. A safe C-section at Koidu Hospital brought her a healthy baby girl.

Thoughtful Care for a High-Risk Pregnancy

Due to her petite frame and height—less than 5 feet—her pregnancy was classified as highrisk, and she was referred to PIH Sierra Leone. On October 1, 2024, Fengai was admitted to the maternal waiting home at Wellbody Clinic to receive care before her delivery.

When she reached 39 weeks and 6 days, Fengai was transferred to PIH-supported Koidu Government Hospital (KGH) for a cesarean section. On October 29, her baby girl, also named Sia, was born. 

From the close monitoring at the maternal waiting home to KGH’s blood bank and the skilled surgeons who ensured a safe and successful C-section, your support enables PIH Sierra Leone to provide quality maternal care for patients like Fengai. With the opening of the Maternal Center of Excellence on KGH’s campus next year, even more women like her will have access to the comprehensive maternal care they deserve.

A Beacon of Hope During Crisis

Amid Haiti’s crisis, PIH’s sister organization Zanmi Lasante delivers care through mobile clinics. For 25-year-old Odilia Paul, that meant free, dignified care.

As Haiti continues to grapple with severe political instability, escalating violence, and a deepening humanitarian crisis, Zanmi Lasante (ZL), PIH’s sister organization in Haiti, continues providing care and hope for the communities we serve. 

For Odilia Paul, 25, ZL’s mobile clinics have been transformative during this time. Living in a remote mountainous community, Paul has struggled with daily tasks, such as fetching food or medicine, due to reduced mobility from the loss of a foot. When she heard ZL was hosting a mobile clinic in a nearby village, she was one of the first to arrive the next day, where she received medical care, personalized advice, and medication. 

“Thanks to you, I received quality care without spending a penny,” Paul said. “You went where few others dare to go. You treated us with dignity, and I hope these clinics continue so others like me have a chance.”

In January 2025, at six months pregnant, Belita Lameck discovered she would be having twins and was referred to PIH-supported Neno District Hospital in Malawi. The babies were born the next morning, weighing only around 2 pounds each. 

Both twins were referred to the hospital’s neonatal care unit (NCU) immediately. Unfortunately, one didn’t survive. The other, named Chimwemwe Cham’bwinja, remained in the NCU for another month, receiving around-the-clock care to help her tiny body gain strength.

“Chimwemwe was born so small and fragile, I nearly lost hope. But thanks to the care from Neno District Hospital, she’s now growing strong and healthy.”

In March, she was finally healthy enough to be discharged from the hospital in the arms of her mother. Thanks to your support, Chimwemwe is now progressing well and regularly attends the Pediatric Development Clinic for checkups.

Housing is one of many factors that can help patients with tuberculosis (TB) recover. After 4-year-old Pauline Baker received treatment for multidrug- resistant TB in Liberia, adequate housing was crucial to her long-term health. 

Dr. Maxo Luma, PIH Liberia executive director and the clinician who initially diagnosed Pauline, collaborated with the local health department and community to build a home for Pauline and her mother, Agatha. Through comprehensive support, our global teams are working to break the cycle of poverty and disease.

“I’ve been a steadfast supporter of PIH for more than two decades. I first learned about Paul Farmer and PIH back in 2000, after reading a New York Times profile by Tracy Kidder and traveling to Haiti that same year. I was already interested in supporting Haiti, but what struck me most about PIH was their approach—especially their long-term commitment and true partnership with communities and local health systems. PIH was different, and that’s why I’ve supported them ever since.

In 2025, I found a new way to give back—by dedicating my long-standing annual bike ride to raise awareness and support for PIH. That ride turned into a family affair, with three generations riding together and we’re already planning for next year. As a father and grandfather, I hope to pass on a legacy of compassion and perseverance. Don’t give up—it’s easy to be cynical, but it’s important to keep going.”

“I am a medical oncologist and in the early 1990s, I served as an attending physician at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, where both Paul Farmer and Jim Yong Kim trained under me. Paul and I were then both mentored by Howard Hiatt, who, among other things, kindled our friendship and showed us our shared public health ethos. 

In 2008, Paul and Jim asked me to help establish cancer programs in Rwanda and Haiti—countries with virtually no cancer care at the time. We opened centers in both, and our partnership deepened. 

Like so many others, Paul touched my inner soul in such unique and powerful ways. At the Butaro Cancer Center in Rwanda, we’ve since treated over 18,000 patients and as Paul would say, have given a preferential option to the poor. For Paul, myself, and so many others, nothing surpassed sitting on the wards at Butaro, caring for patients, and giving them hope for life.”

“The Pfizer Foundation partnered with PIH because of their unwavering commitment to ensuring everyone receives the care they deserve. Their approach—working alongside communities for the long haul—is both powerful and rare. Seeing their work firsthand at PIH Rwanda, especially in strengthening cancer care and public health systems and keeping a patient-centric approach, showed me what’s possible when change is rooted in solidarity and trust. What makes PIH stand out isn’t just their commitment to making care more accessible, but their dedication to making excellent care available to every patient.  

I’m especially inspired by PIH’s focus on working with communities, not just for them. They remind me that meaningful change happens when we lead with humility and persistence.  

What drives me is showing that difficult problems can be solved—if we set bold goals and work together.”

The Pfizer Foundation is a charitable organization established by Pfizer Inc. It is a separate legal entity from Pfizer Inc. with distinct legal restrictions.

Julia* and Adam* have been longtime supporters of PIH. After working on several medical missions through her college, Julia says, “Having local leaders help guide best practices and conduct home visits is the most impactful and humane way to deliver health care. Instead of coming to a remote location and attending to several hundred patients for a short period and then having no follow-up, I think it’s more impactful and ethical for organizations like PIH to partner with the local community.”  

When Julia read about Dr. Farmer in Mountains Beyond Mountains, she became more hopeful: “He was doing the impossible.” She then enrolled at Harvard to pursue a Master of Public Health in global health. 

Julia and Adam recently joined Tom’s Circle, she said, “I’m in my 40’s now with two young daughters. I want them to grow up to be conscious world citizens. As part of my legacy, I want to ensure PIH can sustain its important programs. I firmly believe health is a human right, which is why I have included PIH in my trust.”

A Collective Committed to Fighting the Structural Causes of TB

“We were first inspired by John Green, but then our passion for ending tuberculosis grew as we learned more about how devastating—and yet entirely preventable and curable—this disease is. And this led us to PIH. 

PIH continues to achieve what many say is impossible, not just by believing everyone deserves the highest level of care, but by making it happen—and welcoming us to be part of that work. We have seen firsthand the real impact our voices can have through TBFighters and we thank PIH’s expert guidance, mentorship, and unwavering commitment to justice.  

PIH’s accompaniment and partnership model is truly inspiring—and something we wish were more common across all health care and aid systems. This kind of true, committed partnership makes all the difference, and it's what sets PIH apart.”
