Translating Ideas into Impact
Innovations produce positive health outcomes for more people, faster, better, more affordably and sustainably.
Our goal is to reach more people with innovative health solutions. To do this, our multidisciplinary teams employ empathy, design thinking, data analytics, and business, clinical and public health strategies and approaches to solve problems.
Jhpiego translates ideas into impact. Our active presence on the global public health stage enables us to bridge multiple domains. We can leverage our knowledge and understanding of public health, technology, business/market analysis and program implementation throughout the process of conceptualizing, refining, piloting and scaling up innovations.
For five decades, Jhpiego has introduced evidence-based innovations into global public health interventions to improve the lives of women, children and families. We have done this by “bending the curve,” closing gaps in coverage, quality and equity.
