Founded in Baltimore, working across the globe
Jhpiego (pronounced "ja-pie-go") was founded in 1973 and remains headquartered alongside Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. Its earliest work centered on training health-care providers in reproductive health. Five decades later, the organization runs programs in more than thirty countries across Africa, Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, and Latin America.
The work, today
Jhpiego's teams integrate maternal and child health with the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases including tuberculosis and HIV, and they support the digital and training infrastructure that governments need to scale evidence-based care from a pilot to the public sector.
Their tuberculosis and maternal-health integration work in countries like Lesotho is one example of how an organization built on training has grown into a partner that ministries of health rely on. Their digital-health innovation work, including pathways to scale PrEP access for HIV prevention, is another.
