On March 14, co-founder and managing director of Build Health International, Jim Ansara, participated in the webinar, “Delivering Hope: University Hospital Marks 10 years of Innovation, Education, and Revolutionary Care in Haiti.”
Held in partnership with Zanmi Lasante (Partners in Health’s sister organization in Haiti), the event included contributive remarks from PIH staff to commemorate the ten-year anniversary of the opening of Hôpital Universitaire de Mirebalais (HUM), which has provided critical healthcare services to the people of Haiti since 2013. Build Health International was founded upon the completion of HUM, which has been considered its flagship project and model of promoting global health equity in low-resource settings. Since constructing HUM, BHI has gone on to complete over 200 projects in nearly 50 countries throughout the world.
