Partners In Health

Our mission is a preferential option for the poor in health care. By establishing long-term relationships with sister organizations based in settings of poverty, Partners In Health strives to achieve two overarching goals: to bring benefits of modern medical science to those most in need of them and to serve as an antidote to despair. We draw on the resources of the world's leading medical and academic institutions and on the lived experience of the world's poorest and sickest communities. At its root, our mission is both medical and moral. It is based on solidarity, rather than charity alone. When our patients are ill and have no access to care, our team of health professionals, scholars, and activists will do whatever it takes to make them well- just as we would do if a member of our own families, or we ourselves, were ill.

Otherhalf-Chinese Stem Cell Initiative

OtherHalf – Chinese Stem Cell Initiative is proud to be working in partnership with Canadian Blood Services’ stem cell program, OneMatch Stem Cell and Marrow Network, in educating the Chinese community about the urgent need for more stem cell donors in Canada’s stem cell network. Out of over 18 million registered donors in the Bone Marrow Donors Worldwide (BMDW) database, only about 500,000 are of Chinese origin. That is why it is very difficult for Chinese patients to find unrelated stem cell donors for transplants. A patient’s best chance of finding a stem cell donor is within his/her own ethnic group. For many patients, stem cell transplants are their only hope for survival. Stem cell transplants are used to treat potentially life-threatening illnesses including blood cancers (leukemia, lymphoma & myeloma), aplastic anemia, immune dysfunctions, and genetic and metabolic disorders.
