“I’m incredibly hopeful as I look back on the tremendous progress we’ve made in the past few decades…efforts by the countries and the women themselves under the U.S. government’s flagship maternal, newborn and child health projects over the last 15 years give me great confidence, joy and pride in the work we do at Jhpiego.”

Koki Agarwal | Vice President, Jhpiego

“I draw inspiration from my Jhpiego colleagues in every country. Everyone I have the opportunity to talk to genuinely care about the health of their country people, and the need for increased global solidarity to stop preventable illnesses. That is true north for me.”

Tigistu Adamu | Chief Medical Officer, Jhpiego

“That’s been a fundamental tenet of how Jhpiego has succeeded: to make sure that practitioners understand the evidence base from which smart innovations and smart interventions can be done.”

Harshad Sanghvi | Former Chief Medical Officer, Jhpiego
