Working Towards Health and Equity: Stories from Partners in Health in Sierra Leone

Join us to hear stories from the fight for better access to health care, and a more equitable world, from Sierra Leone, West Africa. Mara Kardas-Nelson is the Director of Community-Based Programs at Partners in Heath (PIH) in Sierra Leone. She will speak about PIH’s work in the country, from its initial efforts in the fight against Ebola to its current work strengthening the country’s health system. PIH’s work is rooted in social justice, with the belief that the world’s poorest also deserve the world’s best healthcare. Mara will speak about the organization’s community-based work with Ebola survivors, people living with HIV and TB, and the country’s poorest and most marginalized. PIH’s project in Sierra Leone is part of the organization’s work in many different regions to support equitable health care at a time when international health care is being defunded and undermined.
