Partners in Health Engage is an affiliate chapter of the national Partners in Health (PIH) organization. PIH is a non-profit committed to the idea that health is a human right. PIH collaborates with national governments to provide care and strengthen public health systems in areas including cancer and chronic disease, child health, emergency response, HIV/AIDS, maternal health, and tuberculosis. At Princeton PIH Engage, we will meet with local and national government leaders to share lessons, stories, and positive results from PIH sites and to champion legislation that eliminates barriers to care. Additionally, we will plan and host fundraising events and campaigns to ensure PIH continues to have the resources to prevent preventable deaths and deliver high-quality health care in some of the world’s poorest places. Furthermore, we will host and participate in curricula, webinars, discussions, and events that raise awareness about the systemic inequities that lead to poor health outcomes in impoverished countries, and much more!
Time Commitment Overview:
- Group members meet 2-3 times a month.
