What is PASHA?
PASHA is a non-political, non-religious, non-profit organization that creates opportunities to improve health among vulnerable populations within the Iranian community and brings together Iranians around the world with various areas of expertise to work on local and global health challenges.
With the emergence of globalization, global health has taken the stage as an important area within public health. Global health is a cross-disciplinary field which incorporates the expertise of different individuals and groups to come up with innovative solutions to the health challenges of the international community. Since the Iranian community is comprised of experts from various disciplines and is highly represented in academia, private business, and government sectors, we believe this community is uniquely positioned to lead in efforts to address global health problems. We also believe that students, as the next generation of leaders, must play an important role in addressing health problems. Therefore, we work closely with academic institutions to realize our goals. Since our inception, we have aimed to realize this mission through ongoing programs including health screening, health education, and fundraising activities.
