Partners in Health

Partners in Health are a global agency that deals with health issues around the world. This is a non-profit organization headquarters located in Boston, Massachusetts whose mission is to provide an improved health care option for the poor countries in the world (Partners). Partners in Health are established in different countries such as Haiti, Peru, Rwanda, Lesotho, Russia, and Malawi; just to name a few (Partners). The agency works effectively in order to bring modern science into a community in need. This organization appealed to me because it works with underprivileged countries who strive to make the best of their selves. In addition Partners in Health started in Haiti, which again appealed to me due to that my roots, resides in Haiti.

What makes Partners in Health so different than the other agency is that it starts to rebuild the infrastructure of the town from bottom up. The organization tries its best to meet the needs of the people. Not only giving them what they need, however teaching them a life style. If one were to work at the Partners in Health, the majority of the jobs includes community base, relations, research, and out reach positions. With these positions a draw back is that it requires living overseas. For individuals who enjoy living in the United States, this is an organization that will be hard to fulfill. Individuals who are interested in Global health, Partners in Health are the agency for you. There are many opportunities within this agency. It is all in the matters of searching and keeping an open mind.
