Health through Walls (HtW) works with prison authorities in low – and middle – income countries to strengthen healthcare services for incarcerated individuals with a focus on the identification and successful treatment of infectious diseases and other impactful needs. Partnering with low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), we assist in the development of strong whole-health systems, both within the walls of correctional facilities and in the surrounding communities.

Overcrowded prison conditions, poor healthcare infrastructure, and inadequate medical resources create the perfect storm for infectious diseases to thrive.
The disproportionate prevalence and high burden of infectious diseases such as HIV, tuberculosis, and hepatitis in prison populations are often not prioritized by traditional health systems.
Enhancing healthcare systems within prisons doesn’t just protect incarcerated individuals—it safeguards public health beyond prison walls as well by offering screenings and treatment to those who have been released and their families.
Your contribution helps bring essential healthcare services to prisons and improves the lives of incarcerated individuals who need assistance to change their direction.
With Health through Walls, you have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of those who need you the most. Together, we can go through the walls to transform communities across the world for the better.
At HtW, we are driven by compassion, innovation, and a commitment to inclusion, innovation, and health equity. Together with our partners, we are creating a world where no one is left behind—where health and dignity are upheld for all.
