New to Tiyatien Health?

New to Tiyatien Health? Please take a moment to check out our work in Liberia. 

WHAT WE DO

Africa faces a shortage of 1.5 million health workers. Nowhere is the crisis worse than in Liberia, which was left with just 51 doctors to serve 4 million people after its civil war. Founded by refugees of Liberia's civil war, Tiyatien Health is building a novel network of frontline health workers, employing and training villagers to deliver primary health care in communities too far from hospitals and clinics.

The Time Has Come
