About the Organization
Partners in Health (PIH), known locally as Inshuti Mu Buzima (IMB), envisions thriving communities of healthy, happy, and productive people, where social justice and universal quality health services are available to all. Our mission is to support Rwanda in designing, building, and implementing a world class health system that provides equitable, accessible, and high-quality services to all in need. Currently, we serve a catchment area of one million people.
In 2022-2026, PIH/IMB starts a new 5-year strategic plan with multi-year budget commitments to surgery, oncology, and chronic diseases, as well as maternal, neonatal, and child health. This is an exciting time for global health leaders to mobilize resources for frontline implementers so they may adapt and innovate to address a changing burden of disease in their communities, while using a health systems strengthening approach to improve the quality of services towards decreased morbidity and mortality.
