This initiative is part of Peru’s TB-HIV Country Project (2022–2025), backed by the Global Fund, aiming to reduce TB to fewer than 95 new cases per 100k people by 2026.

Together with our partners and communities, we’ve built more than a hospital; we’ve built hope, access, and a healthier future for all.

By 2025, Butaro had completed a major expansion and transitioned into a level two teaching hospital, now serving over 45,000 patients annually, and training the next generation of health professionals.

In 2011, Butaro opened its doors with a focus on patient-centered design, advanced diagnostics, and compassionate care. Over the years, it expanded its services to include oncology, maternal health, surgery, and more; becoming a lifeline for thousands across the region.

Stay tuned as we explore the global debt crisis.

This is structural violence.
If we want real global health equity, we must stop the bleeding.
End the outflows.
Build systems.
Fund justice, not just aid.

That $2T figure flips the script:
It’s not the Global North funding the South, it’s the South financing the North.
Every. Single. Year.
comment in response to
post
In 2022, global aid for health = $36B.
But the Global South loses $2 TRILLION every year to the Global North through:
• Debt
• Tax evasion
• Trade mispricing
• Patent fees
And more.
comment in response to
post
Even if we multiplied aid by 10, it wouldn’t close the $400+ billion global health funding gap.
Why?
Because far more money is leaving the Global South than entering.

Yes—aid has saved lives and reduced illness over the decades.
But most aid today doesn’t build the strong public health systems communities truly need.
comment in response to
post
The deeper issue?
The current aid system reinforces dependency and hides the root causes behind the need for aid.
It’s a band-aid, not a cure.
comment in response to
post
We are fighting back.
We’ve helped constituents connect with 500+ congressional offices—including every U.S. senator—urging them to act.
But advocacy alone isn’t enough.

Because of these cuts, experts now predict:
• 200,000 cases of paralytic polio a year
• 310,000 TB deaths in a year
• 166,000 more malaria deaths annually
These are preventable tragedies. Each number = a life in danger.

They serve as outdoor classrooms, where community health reps teach about Navajo food, nutrition, and healing practices.
Plus, they're also a source of movement, connection, and mental wellness.

These gardens remind us: health isn’t just built in clinics. It’s grown in community, culture, and the land we care for together.

COPE is an Indigenous-led sister org of PIH, working alongside Navajo families, growers, and health workers to promote food sovereignty and community wellness.
This is what locally driven health equity looks like.
comment in response to
post
At eight locations across the Nation, COPE teamed up with community members to build and plant vibrant garden beds.
Fresh food, deep roots in tradition, and a whole lot of love.

Yes, Joseph. I’m glad ur w/us. It’s a powerful message. I was w/a TB Fighter from W. VA this week. She represented her experience of NOT having TB after an outbreak in her college dorm. She benefitted from contact tracing & preventive therapy! TB care & research make these happy endings possible.
