Our mission is to strengthen Liberia’s health care system through partnership with the government and the communities we serve — expanding access to care, training health workers, and ensuring dignified, high-quality health care services for all.

Areas of Focus

PIH Liberia supports the health sector by accompanying the government to enhance health worker training and staffing, improve health infrastructure, supply essential equipment and medications, and provide social support to vulnerable patients.

Our Impact

Since 2014, PIH Liberia has helped transform health care across the country by expanding health services, equipping hospitals, and training providers. Together, we are building a stronger, more equitable health system.

Over the past ten years, primary health care service delivery in Maryland County has experienced a significant transformation, primarily due to the accompaniment model implemented by Partners In Health (PIH) Liberia, in collaboration with the Government of Liberia, the Ministry of Health, and the Maryland County Health Team.

After a decade of consistent investments by Partners In Health, in partnership with the Maryland County Health Team, in maternal and child health services, the survival rate for preterm and low birth weight babies and hope for their mothers have begun to increase since the inception of the KMC Program in 2018.

Global health is finally getting the attention it deserves—but not for the right reasons. The interdisciplinary field and its impact—on everyone, everywhere—has become more visible in recent months due to foreign aid cuts enacted by the U.S. government.
