BREAKING: new polling shows that the majority of Canadians want to see Canada step up for the world's children. But we can't do that if we keep cutting our aid budget. Tell your MP that Canada must STOP THE CUTS in Budget 2026.

Paul Farmer had zero patience for certain words: budget, strategic plan, tuition fees. These were polite ways of saying no, and he’d rather work towards finding ways to say YES. This is still the standard at PIH today. What word would you add?

Today's Supreme Court decision to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for 350,000 Haitians adds to the long history of injustices against the nation. This is how structural violence works. Social, economic, and political forces are keeping Haiti impoverished and in crisis.

National averages can also hide inequality within countries—by race, geography, income, disability and migration status. So the question is not simply “Which country is doing better?” It is: who can reach care, who is excluded, and why?

Governments are responsible for delivering safe care. But accountability without context is incomplete. Colonial extraction, debt and unequal access to financing shape what countries can invest in—and what health systems are forced to postpone.

The picture paints a totally different type of scoreboard. A high ratio reflects whether people can reach staff, blood, surgery, medicines and transport—and whether those systems have been resourced. It is not a measure of a country's commitment to its people. Data: www.who.int/publications...

And infrastructure is also the dormitory that keeps a mother beside her critically ill baby. A kitchen providing nourishing meals. Clean water. Reliable electricity. Infection control. The conditions that allow care to work.

PIH first came to Sierra Leone during the 2014 Ebola outbreak. Today, as DRC and Uganda respond to another fast-moving outbreak, the lesson is familiar: preparedness isn’t built during an emergency. It is built over years—in staff, supplies, infrastructure and trust.

Partners In Health Canada 🇨🇦 @pihcanada.org · 21/06/2026

When Phebian saw the on-site dormitory where she could stay near Grace, she said: “It looked like America.” Which is powerful because such a simple sentence underscores a lot. Why should safety, dignity and modern equipment feel like they belong somewhere else?

A few years earlier, staff had the skills but not the infrastructure. Fragile newborns sometimes shared beds. Babies were carried from the operating room in blankets. Now there are 39 specialized NICU beds and temperature-controlled incubators.

It is tempting to call what happened next a miracle. But it's not. It was oxygen. An infant warmer. Continuous monitoring. Skilled nurses ready to act. In other words: a health system doing what it was built to do.

When a maternal and child health outreach clinic is cancelled, people do not just miss an appointment. They may miss antenatal care, childhood immunizations, HIV testing, or treatment for something that will get worse if left untreated. The cost of disruption is carried by patients.

In Neno, Malawi, the current fuel crisis is affecting nearly every part of the health system. Ambulances have been delayed. Surgeries have been pushed back. Home visits for palliative care patients have been disrupted. A fuel shortage is not abstract when a newborn is waiting for transport.

We talk a lot about what health systems need: doctors, nurses, medicines, hospital beds, equipment. But sometimes the thing standing between a patient and care is much more basic. Sometimes it is fuel. 🧵
