Where a woman lives should not determine if she lives. That’s at the heart of Jhpiego’s mission to prevent the needless deaths of women and their families. For more than 40 years and in over 155 countries, Jhpiego, a non-profit affiliate of Johns Hopkins University, has worked with health experts, governments and community leaders across Africa, Asia and Latin America to develop unique partnerships and strategies that help countries care for themselves by training competent health care workers, strengthening health systems and improving delivery of care, from home to hospital, village to city. From its origins as technical experts in reproductive, maternal and child health, Jhpiego has grown to embrace new challenges, including HIV/AIDS, malaria, cervical cancer prevention, adolescent health and non-communicable diseases. Using practical, evidence-based, low-cost interventions and innovations, Jhpiego is helping break down barriers to high-quality health care for the world’s most vulnerable populations.
