Organization Description:
Jhpiego is an international, non-profit affiliate of Johns Hopkins University. 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. Our work in HIV counseling and testing and HIV clinical care has involved us in TB/HIV integration. We also work on infection prevention and control in healthcare settings, including prevention of bloodborne and respiratory infections.
