Partnering for health. Partnering for hope.

Why we do Global Health work

Access to healthcare is a right.

We believe that healthcare should be available to everyone, regardless of where they were born or how much money they happen to have.

At Global Perm NW, we feel that our responsibility as healthcare providers to support wellness does not stop at borders.

Ethiopia

Only 50% of births have a skilled attendant present

Only 34% of new mothers receive early post-natal care

New mothers are 20X more likely to die from complications of childbirth than new mothers in Canada

Rwanda

Rwanda wants to increase access to acute and emergency care in rural areas

More trainers and teachers are urgently needed to expand the healthcare workforce

USA

Unhoused people commonly suffer from injuries to the skin that do not heal

Poor access to mainstream healthcare settings and treatment means simple skin problems can become life and limb-threatening

How we do Global Health

Building healthcare capacity

We work on projects that develop the long-term capacity to deliver quality healthcare to disadvantaged communities. Typically, our projects emphasize teaching, training, and program development. Our goal is to have a sustained impact long after our volunteers have left.

Partnership

We work in partnership with leaders from local communities who understand the needs of their community and set the priorities.

Maximizing the impact

Our experience in global health, our trusting relationships with local leaders, our use of highly skilled volunteers, and our emphasis on capacity-building allows us to have a high impact.
