<p>IMPACT ON HAITI - Over 30 years Haiti was , and arguably still is, the poorest nation in western hemisphere- but it has now become a world class partner in training medical staff in serving the most life critical diseases faced by poorest countries and families</p>
<p>FIRST DECADE OUT OF HAITI 1983-1994</p>
<p>Paul Farmer's first year in Haiti started spring 1983 after graduating from Duke - he spent about a year there looking for a base he could grow. Eventually he found Cange - a distant place 3 hours drive out into the country on the bumpiest of tracks especially after Mirebalais. At age 24 he enrolled at Harvard Medical School, and started commuting between Cange and Boston!</p>
<p>Almost on completion of Farmer's Harvard degree in 1987 <a href="http://www.pih.org/pages/our-history"><img alt="Historic_006.jpg" src="http://www.pih.org/page/-/timeline/Historic_006_fmt.jpeg"/></a></p>
<p class="country">Partners In Health (PIH) is founded in Boston by Jim Kim, Ophelia Dahl, Paul Farmer, Todd McCormack, and Thomas J. White to support activities started in Haiti. The purpose to <span> deliver health care to the residents of Haiti's mountainous Central Plateau region, and later in Artibonite region too.</span></p>
<p class="country">By 1989, the medical centre in Cange is sufficiently formed to also become a test centre for <span>PIH and its Haitian sister organization, Zanmi Lasante to launch a community-based program for treating tuberculosis. By 1990 <span>Zanmi Lasantein Haiti launches its comprehensive women's health program, Pwojè Sante Fanm.and in 1993 P<span>aul Farmer wins a MacArthur "genius grant" and uses it to establish the Institute for Health and Social Justice, PIH's research and advocacy arm.Its from 1994 that PIH has enough momentum to make its 2nd development focus Peru with tuberculosis work led by Jim Kim's team.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="country"><span><span><span>2nd decade out of HAITI </span></span></span>1994-2004</p>
<p class="country"><span>2000 In Haiti, PIH's sister organization, Zanmi Lasante, initiates a pilot program to provide antiretroviral therapy to 50 AIDS patients. HIV Equity Initiative is one of the first in the world to provide antiretroviral therapy in resource-poor settings. </span></p>
<p class="country"><span>.2002 The PIH project in Haiti is one </span><span>of the first to receive funding from the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria.</span></p>
<p class="country"><span><span><span>3rd decade out of Haiti 2004-2014</span></span></span></p>
<p class="country"><span><span><span> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="country"><em>2010 PIH and Zanmi Lasante respond to a 7.0 earthquake in Haiti with lifesaving emergency care and a plan to strengthen Haiti's public health system. </em><em>2013 PIH opens Hôpital Universitaire de Mirebalais in Haiti. The first medical residents begin training.2012 PIH constructs a public flagship hospital in Mirebalais: a center of medical excellence, a national teaching hospital, and a major investment in Haiti's infrastructure. </em></p>
<p class="country">During decade 3 Haiti was hit by a devastating earthquake; it has become famous as an Aid destination (with disadvantages) as well as advantages. The most positive impact for health is that the old teacher training hospital for health having being destroyed in Porto Price, friends of PIH have linked in to build a new teacher training hospital at La Mirebalais. (I was lucky to briefly interview Farmer at a conference in Budapest in 2012 , the opportunities to deliver local health and participate as a world class open learning campus may yet turn out to be Haiti's biggest ever opportunity in 21st C knowledge networking and millennial goal-led economies. Additionally BRAC has made Haiti its gateway to the region. Partners in Health alumn Jim Kim (from summer 2012) leads the world bank. In surveys of where are millennials leaders most empowered , americas and health millennials appear the most collaboratively structured in our survey <a href="http://2030now.blogspot.com%C2%A0" target="_blank">http://2030now.blogspot.com </a>; your feedback welcomed chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk</p>
