EqualHealth works with local partners to create strong, sustainable medical and nursing education systems. Our goal is to foster the development of a self-sustaining, equitable and collaborative Haitian healthcare system. We strive to equip Haitian health professionals with the skills to provide quality care to all Haitians.

The Social Medicine Consortium (a platform co-created by EqualHealth) is rooted in the belief that inequity kills, and that together we can achieve health equity by constructing systems that demand justice, recognize our global interconnectedness, and enable the next generation of health professionals. Towards our vision of health equity, we build on our foundational work from Haiti and Uganda by developing and implementing social medicine curricula around the world; developing and supporting models of social medicine in practice; and organizing people and communities around actions to advocate for their core interests.

In doing this work we are committed to engaging in humble relationships that recognize our limitations and privileges, acknowledging pervasive historical injustices and pursuing collective liberation through shared struggle. We seek proximity to suffering and create coalitions that transcend traditional lines of power, and utilize disruptive activism to redistribute power and center marginalized voices.
