10 Years of Impact and Accompaniment in West Africa

As we celebrate and reflect on Partners In Health’s (PIH) decade of work in West Africa, it’s clear that we’re closer to achieving health equity. Looking back at where we began to where we are now is a reminder of what’s possible with accompaniment and long-term partnership. Ten years ago, it was hard to imagine such progress in a region that—at the time—was terrorized by Ebola, a highly contagious and infectious disease with historically high death rates. Back then, an Ebola diagnosis was a death sentence. Thankfully, that is no longer the case. Committed to long-term health system strengthening, PIH remains in West Africa. As other organizations fled, PIH believed staying was the morally right decision, the best way to prevent future outbreaks, and the means to rebuilding the local health system. Guided by the firm belief that everyone deserves the best care possible, PIH will continue to work with partners and local communities to fight for health as a human right in West Africa, over the next decade—and beyond.
