Who We Are
Jhpiego (pronounced "ja-pie-go"), is an international non-profit health organization affiliated with
Johns Hopkins University. For nearly 40 years, Jhpiego has empowered front-line health workers by designing and implementing effective, low-cost, hands-on solutions to strengthen the delivery of health care services for women and their families. By putting evidence-based health innovations into everyday practice, Jhpiego works to break down barriers to high-quality health care for the world’s most vulnerable populations.
Mission and Values
Mission—Jhpiego enhances the health and saves the lives of women and families in limited-resource settings. For nearly four decades, we have put evidence-based health innovations into everyday practice to overcome barriers to high-quality health care services for the world's most vulnerable populations. From our origins as technical experts in reproductive, maternal and child health, Jhpiego has grown to embrace new challenges, including HIV/AIDS, malaria and cervical cancer prevention—reflecting the increasing interconnectedness of global health.
Vision—Jhpiego empowers front-line health workers by designing and implementing effective, low cost, hands-on solutions that strengthen the delivery of health care services, following the household-to-hospital continuum of care.
We partner with organizations from the community to the national level, building sustainable, local capacity through advocacy, policy development, and quality and performance improvement approaches.
Approach
Jhpiego’s program management strategy recognizes the
technical complexity and geographical, cultural, socio-economic and political diversity among our
programs. We develop global program initiatives and technical interventions that
can be adapted for country-specific applications. In support of this
field-driven philosophy, Jhpiego uses a decentralized organizational
structure that consists of a global "delivery system" designed to implement the
entire portfolio of Jhpiego awards with assistance from key technical,
programmatic and administrative staff.
