Health Partners International Canada (HPIC) is proud to support Canadian medical mission teams who bring critical healthcare to underserved communities worldwide. Each year, HPIC collaborates with hundreds of dedicated healthcare professionals, supplying them with medicines and medical supplies donated from Canada's generous pharmaceutical sector.

Earlier this year, Dr. Thanh Liem Nguyen and his Podiatres sans frontières/Podiatrists Without Borders team journeyed to a remote Vietnamese region to address debilitating foot conditions—from plantar fasciitis and tendinitis to injuries resulting from strokes and accidents. Armed with HPIC's Humanitarian Medical Kits stocked with vital medications, the team delivered care to patients with no other access to treatment.

The impact was profound: more than 100 people found relief from chronic pain and regained their ability to walk. This restored mobility meant they could return to their jobs in agriculture and local businesses, once again providing for their families. Learn more at www.hpicanada.ca.

Health Partners International Canada (HPIC) est fier de soutenir les équipes médicales canadiennes qui apportent des soins de santé essentiels aux communautés défavorisées dans le monde entier. Chaque année, HPIC collabore avec des centaines de professionnels de la santé dévoués, en leur fournissant des médicaments et du matériel médical donnés par le généreux secteur pharmaceutique canadien.

Plus tôt cette année, le Dr Thanh Liem Nguyen et son équipe de Podiatres sans frontières/Podiatrists Without Borders se sont rendus dans une région reculée du Vietnam pour traiter des affections du pied invalidantes — de la fasciite plantaire et de la tendinite aux blessures résultant d’accidents vasculaires cérébraux et d’accidents. Équipée des Kits Médicaux Humanitaires de HPIC, remplis de médicaments essentiels, l’équipe a offert des soins à des patients n’ayant aucun autre accès à un traitement.

L’impact a été profond : plus de 100 personnes ont trouvé un soulagement de la douleur chronique et ont retrouvé leur capacité à marcher. Cette mobilité retrouvée signifiait qu’elles pouvaient reprendre leurs emplois dans l’agriculture et les commerces locaux, retrouvant ainsi leur fournissant pour leurs familles.

Health Partners International of Canada (HPIC) has issued an urgent call for support to deliver life-saving medications to families across Lebanon, where a deepening humanitarian crisis continues to unfold. Escalating conflict in the southern region, mass displacement of civilians, extensive damage to critical infrastructure, and an unstable economy have left millions without access to vital medical care.

Through our established network of trusted local partners, we're working to ensure essential medicines reach the communities that need them most. We've been overwhelmed by the generous response from our pharmaceutical and medical supply partners, who have answered our call with urgent donations.

Now, we need your help to raise $200,000 to transport and distribute these life-saving supplies. Your impact is multiplied tenfold—every $10 you donate delivers $100 worth of essential medicine to those in desperate need.

Please consider making a tax-deductible donation today at www.hpicanada.ca.

Approximately 600 men, women, and children in El Progreso, Guatemala, will receive the medical care they need thanks to the dedication of Dr. David Fernandes and the medical mission team from Mountainview Christian Reformed Church in Grimsby, Ontario.
Carrying nearly 100 pounds of medicine in portable Humanitarian Medical Kits (HMKs), the team partnered with the DIG Guatemala medical clinic in the mountain communities of Valencia and Salatrillo, home to the Maya peoples, to provide essential treatment for patients who otherwise have no access to medicine.

The donated medicines will be used to treat a range of common and chronic conditions, including hypertension, Type 2 diabetes, gastritis, bacterial and parasitic infections, and skin rashes.

For many families in El Progreso, the cost of medicine is far beyond reach. The donations brought by mission teams like Mountainview CRC are often the only source of medical relief available. Through their compassion and service, Dr. Fernandes and the team have brought not only physical healing but also renewed hope to a community in need.
