Village Health Works’ mission is to provide quality, compassionate health care in a dignified environment while also addressing the root causes of illness, poverty, violence, and neglect.

Health Equity International is dedicated to providing essential health services to the people of Southern Haiti, especially the most vulnerable. We are committed to building a comprehensive, efficient, and resilient health system that provides high quality care. We believe that ensuring access to life-saving and life-changing health services is a critical component to building strong and productive communities.

Our mission is to provide a preferential option for the poor in healthcare. By establishing long-term relationships with sister organizations based in settings of poverty, Partners in Health strives to achieve two overarching goals: to bring the benefits of modern medical science to those most in need of them and to serve as an antidote to despair.

New York, New York –October 17, 2016 – Deerfield announced today a strategic collaboration with the Peking Union School of Public Health (PUSPH) to advance healthcare in China.

The collaboration will focus on areas such as medicine procurement, supply chain management, antibiotics misuse, and hospital service quality assessment.

Deerfield will work closely with the PUSPH Dean Dr. Yuanli Liu and Food and Drug Safety and Policy Research Director Dr. Jing Sun.  Dr. Yuanli Liu founded the US-China Health Summit during his tenure at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health prior to joining PUSPH.  Over the years, he has been committed to creating direct discussion among policy makers, academic experts and business leaders to transform global healthcare.

Grant chaired the Department of Public Health.  The new Peking Union School of Public Health(PUSPH) was established in 2014, with a mission to improve the public health by conducting inter-disciplinary, innovative and translational research, informing policy, serving communities, and educating future public health leaders.
