About us
Jhpiego is a nonprofit global leader in the creation and delivery of transformative health care solutions for the developing world. In partnership with national governments, health experts and local communities, we build health providers’ skills, and develop systems that save lives now and guarantee healthier futures for women and their families. Our aim is revolutionizing health care for the planet’s most disadvantaged people. Jhpiego, a Johns Hopkins University Affiliate, translates decades of program experience and in-depth technical knowledge into moments of care that can mean the difference between life and death for women and families. The moment a woman gives birth; the moment a midwife helps a newborn to breath; the moment a nurse screens for cervical cancer with a simple vinegar swab; the moment a community health worker tests a man for HIV and reports he is HIV free. By embedding the know-how and skills into everyday practice, we are able to increase access to quality health services and create a healthier future for generations to come. Access to lifesaving health care for all people, whoever they are, wherever they live, that’s our mission. Jhpiego saves lives, improves health, transforms futures.

At Jhpiego, we're proud to support youth champions like those in Madhya Pradesh and Delhi who are transforming communities in India with their passion and dedication. These young leaders are breaking down barriers, challenging myths, and sparking vital conversations on sexual and reproductive health. 🗣 Let's continue to invest in and uplift the voices of young people who are paving the way for a healthier, brighter future. https://lnkd.in/ecX9z3Aj

When I met these two youth champions- one in a hard-to-reach village called Dindori in Madhya Pradesh and another in Delhi's Dakshinpuri, a common thread struck me between these two individuals --their feeling of self-worth and confidence in the work they were doing. I am so happy that my colleague Astha Jain's beautiful narration and Karen Kasmauski's powerful images have brought both their stories to life. At a time when negative news is sweeping through our nation and the world, take a moment to read this uplifting story of young people who are doing the country proud-- busting myths and unlocking conversations that can help young Indians achieve their full potential. https://lnkd.in/dk48ruws #youthleaders #adolescenthealth #menstrualhealth #reproductivehealth #youth #youngleaders #communityhealth Dr Abhijeet Pathak USAID MOMENTUM

In Guatemala, we're collaborating with the government to enhance national laboratory systems—a key pillar of pandemic preparedness and response to emerging health threats. Our partnership goes beyond just assessing lab capacities; we're working together to use data for strategic decision-making that supports effective resource distribution. Through this lab mapping exercise, we’re identifying gaps and opportunities for strengthening laboratory capacities, contributing to a more resilient health system. This interactive tool allows you to explore the progress and potential within Guatemala’s lab systems. We invite you to see firsthand how Jhpiego is making a difference – dive into our work and explore the interactive map here. https://lnkd.in/eN6PkwEd

In an article on transactional sex by adolescents published in Frontiers , Jhpiego authors Mary Drake and Kelly Curran examined the relationship between adolescent girls and young women and older sex partners. These young girls and woman account for the largest proportion of new HIV infections and have a higher risk of HIV acquisition than males of comparable age. The findings emphasize the need for targeted, youth-friendly strategies to link adolescent girls and young women at high risk of HIV to prevention interventions, such as PrEP, and address their sexual and reproductive health needs.

Our study team in Tanzania investigated HIV seroconversion, and its associated factors, among female sex workers through a unique way—using data from a routine, community-based HIV prevention and sexual and reproductive health project. Among this group of FSW, the team found a high incidence rate of 8.6 per 100 person-years. Factors associated with seroconversion included age 35 years or older, unprotected sex, STI symptoms, and alcohol consumption before sex. These findings underscore the importance of tailoring interventions for FSWs to prevent acquisition and transmission of HIV. https://lnkd.in/exhyuBq2

In early 2020, Uganda’s 22-month school closure due to COVID-19 led to increased teenage pregnancies and limited access to family planning. Teddy Kevin Nabuzale and the Mbale Youth Group responded by launching community-based education on HIV prevention and family planning, reaching 20-50 young people per session. With Uganda’s high teenage pregnancy rates, the youth group partnered with the Ministry of Health and The Challenge Initiative, with support from Jhpiego, to provide combined health talks and services. This collaboration empowers adolescents to make informed reproductive health decisions.
