Health Partners International of Canada

01/24/2026

Health Partners International Canada (HPIC) joins humanitarian organizations and countries around the world in celebrating 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐄𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐃𝐚𝐲. Observed each year on January 24, this day recognizes the vital role of education in promoting peace, development, and personal empowerment.
Education is at the heart of HPIC’s goal to engage with community leaders and health workers to improve health care practices and awareness. In the past year, approximately 300 nurses, midwives, pharmacists, and other frontline health providers participated in HPIC-supported capacity-building sessions, workshops, and trainings. These initiatives strengthen local health systems and equip healthcare workers with the knowledge and skills needed to deliver quality care in some of the world’s most underserved and crisis-affected regions.
Through health care education and training, HPIC continues to promote sustainable and lasting change.

𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐢𝐟𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭: 𝐈𝐳𝐳𝐲 𝐃𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐂𝐥𝐮𝐛 𝐝𝐞 𝐥'â𝐠𝐞 𝐝'𝐎𝐫 𝐝𝐮 𝐇â𝐯𝐫𝐞-𝐝𝐞𝐬-𝐈𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐋𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐥, 𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐛𝐞𝐜
We are deeply grateful for the precious donation of 𝐈𝐳𝐳𝐲 𝐃𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐬 recently received from the talented crafters at Club de l'âge d'Or du Hâvre-des-Iles in Laval, Quebec.
The Doll Initiative is a heartfelt humanitarian initiative that began with 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐈𝐬𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐝, who recognized the need for comfort among children affected by war. At HPIC, these small handmade treasures serve a dual purpose — they are used as an environmentally friendly way to safely pack the medicines we ship, and upon arrival, they become “portable hugs” for children living in crisis. For many, these dolls are their first and only toy, bringing warmth and hope in difficult times.
The Laval group began knitting Izzy Dolls last fall after a friend emailed one of the members, Jocelyne Robitaille, an article on the project published in the Sherbrooke Tribune newspaper. After presenting the idea to the club at their first meeting last September, everyone enthusiastically joined in.
“𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍 𝒊𝒏 𝒌𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑰𝒛𝒛𝒚 𝑫𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒔; 𝒘𝒆 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒍𝒆-𝒈𝒊𝒓𝒍 𝒔𝒑𝒊𝒓𝒊𝒕, 𝒊𝒏 𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒖𝒕𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒇𝒖𝒏𝒏𝒊𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒐𝒏𝒆.... 𝒘𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒇𝒖𝒏 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒉𝒆𝒍𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒉 𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓.”
~ Mme. Jocelyne Robitaille, Club de l'âge d'Or du Hâvre-des-Iles in Laval, Quebec.
A sincere thank-you to the Laval Club and to all our incredible volunteer crafters for their compassion and creativity! 💙

𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐇𝐏𝐈𝐂 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬.
From our generous pharmaceutical partners to our dedicated volunteers, donors, and community organizations like 𝐑𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐲, every box of medicine delivered represents a shared commitment to health and hope.

One inspiring example is our partnership with the Creston Valley Rotary Club, whose members travel each year to 𝐇𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐬 with 𝐇𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐊𝐢𝐭𝐬 (HMKs) filled with essential medicines and 𝐈𝐳𝐳𝐲 𝐃𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐬. On their most recent mission, the team extended their reach beyond the 𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐛𝐚𝐫𝐚 𝐇𝐨𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥, bringing care to a small mountain town where they hosted a free weekend clinic for new mothers and children.

Many of the mothers who attended had limited or no access to healthcare and faced challenges such as poor nutrition and untreated illnesses. Thanks to HPIC-provided medicines, the team was able to treat long-standing cases of malnutrition, yeast infections, respiratory and stomach infections, and other common ailments—bringing relief and renewed hope to families in need.

Every partnership, every kit, and every act of care brings us closer to a world where health is within reach for all. 💙🌎

Health Partners International Canada was honoured to host the 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐊𝐞𝐧𝐲𝐚 𝐭𝐨 𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐝𝐚 at our Town of Oakville Distribution Centre last week.
We took a behind-the-scenes look at the many processes involved in delivering medicines to vulnerable communities around the world, including Kenya.
Her Excellency was very impressed with the scale and scope of our work in Kenya, which includes a decade-long presence in the country addressing challenges in 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡, impacting over 80,000 Kenyans each year through health education, awareness and outreach activities.

𝐖𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐭𝐨 𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬. 💙
Their incredible generosity and commitment make it possible to deliver life-saving medicines to people living in vulnerable communities who would otherwise go without. This support goes far beyond product donations—it represents compassion, collaboration, and a shared responsibility for global health.
Partners like Bayer, who recently donated a considerable amount of essential medicines to our Oakville Distribution Centre. Thanks to this partnership, displaced civilians and refugees in 𝐔𝐤𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐞, orphaned children and widows in 𝐌𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐰𝐢, and isolated and underserved populations in 𝐄𝐬𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐢, 𝐂𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐧, and 𝐙𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐢𝐚 will soon have access to the urgent healthcare supplies they need.
For those living in poverty, conflict zones, or in remote areas—access to medicine can mean:
✅𝐒𝐮𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞: Medicines prevent and treat diseases that would otherwise be fatal or disabling.
✅𝐄𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲: Healthy individuals can work, care for their families, and contribute to their communities.
✅𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: When people can manage their health, they gain dignity and control over their futures.
Together, with the support of our partners, we are building a healthier, more equitable world—one shipment, one medicine, and one life at a time. 🌎

𝐆𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐢𝐟𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧. 🎁
Nearly one-quarter of the world’s population today lives in crisis or poverty without access to the medicine they need. 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐝𝐚 (𝐇𝐏𝐈𝐂) is committed to changing that by providing essential medicines and health supplies to those in need.
Each year, HPIC’s work helps transform the health and lives of over a million people with urgent medical needs. A simple pain reliever can save a child suffering from high fever. A course of antibiotics can prevent hearing loss for someone with an untreated ear infection. These small interventions have life-changing impact.
This holiday season, give the gift of health. Every donation helps to deliver medicine to those who are hurting - restoring health, dignity, and hope. https://www.hpicanada.ca/

The escalation of the armed conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has displaced more than 7.3 million people, placing unprecedented pressure on local health facilities.
With the support of Unifor Canada SFJ, 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐝𝐚 (𝐇𝐏𝐈𝐂) and HEAL Africa are responding through the 𝐂𝐚𝐩 𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞́ - 𝐆𝐨𝐦𝐚 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭. This initiative aims to improve working conditions for midwives, nurses, and other healthcare workers at 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐋 𝐀𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚 𝐇𝐨𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 in Goma, by strengthening the capacity of 100 frontline workers.
By providing essential resources, training, and supporting initiatives that strengthen protection and wellbeing, the project empowers them to effectively respond to emergency crises.
Training sessions on Emergency Obstetric & Newborn Care and infection prevention & control have already equipped practitioners to manage obstetric emergencies, perform neonatal resuscitation, and contain epidemic risks in a city facing conflict, displacement, and recurring outbreaks.
Through strong partnerships 💪 💪 and a shared commitment to health equity, HPIC continues to deliver health and hope to communities facing crisis. Whether responding to emergencies, equipping medical mission teams, or strengthening local healthcare systems, we remain steadfast in our commitment to improving access to medicine and medical care for the world’s most vulnerable.

Our field visit to Honduras earlier this year provided HPIC with a vital opportunity to observe the operational realities of medical product distribution and healthcare delivery through our partnership with HOPE International Development Agency and local partner @.
Not only did we complete the circle - following the journey of medicines donated by our generous Canadian pharmaceutical partners from our warehouse to their dispensement at local community clinics - but we also witnessed the tremendous dedication of volunteers and clinicians working tirelessly to ensure Hondurans in need receive essential health services and medical supplies.
This visit reaffirmed HPIC’s commitment to strengthening healthcare systems and supporting our partners on the ground who make access to medicine possible for communities in need across Honduras and the globe.

When illness strikes, a child’s future suffers. In the world’s most vulnerable communities, 𝐚 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐥𝐞𝐟𝐭 𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐨𝐩𝐞 . If a child's parent falls ill, they need to leave school to care for siblings, fetch water, or earn income. What begins as a health crisis quickly becomes an education crisis — one that can trap families in cycles of poverty for generations.
You can change that by making a tax-deductible donation to Health Partners International Canada this Giving Tuesday.
Restore Health. Save Lives. Give Hope.
