ABOUT MALAWI
Background
Established in 1891, the British protectorate of Nyasaland became the independent nation of Malawi in 1964.
HIV/AIDS IN MALAWI
Early AIDS Epidemic
Malawi's first AIDS case was reported in 1985. In response, the government implemented a short-term AIDS strategy (including blood screening and HIV education programs)
HISTORY
Partners in Hope (PIH) began in
2001 as an outgrowth of an HIV project initiated by Dr. Perry Jansen and a group of individuals committed to providing excellent and compassionate care to the many people infected and effected by HIV in Malawi.
WHAT PIH DO
Partners in Hope aims to have a holistic approach to HIV/AIDS in the Malawian context. HIV Prevention has been a core value from our inception, but the need to care for the many people who are already infected has driven us to do all that we can to make a difference. Recognizing that our impact is limited if we only focus on our facility and our city, PIH partnered with UCLA to expand our impact by building the capacity of existing organizations throughout Malawi. Using PIH and our many partner hospitals and clinics, we now have a valuable network which can conduct practical, grassroots research to help us all do our work better.
