Over the years, Nyaya has been fortunate to have many partners and supporters in our fight against healthcare inequalities. One such organization is the EquityEditors Association (EEA).
EEA was conceptualized as a non-profit organization of socially-conscious medical scientific editors who donate a portion of their income (1-100%) to global health organizations that share their vision of global health equity. EEA partners with international organizations to provide editing services for physicians and scientists for whom English is not a first language. This serves the dual purpose of increasing equity for the non-English speaking scientific
community to reach Western journals, as well as alleviating healthcare disparities for the world’s poor. The organization chooses transparent, open-source groups such as Nyaya to ensure that maximum benefit is achieved through the donated funds. EEA’s team is composed of an all-volunteer staff to maximize funds for its beneficiaries. For a more detailed entry on the partnership between Nyaya and EEA, see a blog post by Nyaya’s Co-Founder Dr. Duncan Maru here.
As of this month, EEA will have provided over $15,000 in donations to Nyaya. Nyaya Health is deeply grateful for EEA’s ongoing support in helping to provide funds for critical operational costs and staff wages. EEA is currently seeking to partner with international editing organizations to expand their vision and reach, as well as recruiting new editors.

Congratulations! This is very exciting and inspiring attempts.
