Notable achievements include revising USAID’s maternal and child health investment frameworks to align with the Sustainable Development Goals, evaluating USAID’s flagship maternal and child health program, and designing a $1 billion successor strategy.

She has also held leadership positions at Corus International and Abt Associates, managing global health and economic development portfolios across West Africa, francophone Central Africa, North Africa, and the Middle East. Dr. Bear has worked in more than 45 countries worldwide, including 11 years of residence in multiple countries throughout Africa and Asia.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“It has been a privilege to lead Jhpiego over the last 25 years, and I could not be more confident as I pass the baton to Dr. Allyson Bear,” said Dr. Leslie Mancuso, outgoing president and CEO of Jhpiego. “Her commitment to improving global health and her thoughtful, values-driven leadership give me great optimism for the future of the organization.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Dr. Bear will succeed Dr. Leslie Mancuso, who has led Jhpiego since 2001 and announced her planned retirement in 2024.

More recently, adolescent girls and young women have been recognized as a priority population. However, data show that women who are pregnant and postpartum are also particularly vulnerable to HIV infection. The time is past due for us to not only partner with these clients, but also offer self-care options to provide services that traditionally have been limited to health care professionals. As co-designers and contributors to their own care, these clients can help accelerate progress toward the 2030 goal of ending an epidemic that has killed over 42 million people since 1981.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>We know that being pregnant increases the risk of acquiring HIV threefold, and being postpartum increases that risk fourfold, compared to other times in people’s lives. The reasons are not completely clear but may be biological, behavioral or cultural.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Research reveals that if a person acquires HIV during pregnancy or the postpartum period, there is a higher risk of vertical transmission (of the baby acquiring HIV) than if the mother acquired HIV prior to pregnancy. In fact, an estimated 23% of vertical transmissions globally are due to HIV infections that happen \u003Cem>during \u003C/em>pregnancy and the postpartum period. All this evidence points to the pregnancy and postnatal periods as critical times of opportunity for expanding access to HIV prevention services—particularly those options that increase a client’s agency and protect their privacy.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Imagine two women living in Africa. One is a single pregnant teenager who, experiencing poverty, depends on transactional sex to buy food and clothing. She was relieved when an HIV test given early in her pregnancy was negative. The other woman is a 30-year-old mother of five young children—including a breastfeeding infant. Her husband, a fisherman, doesn’t use condoms; he hides the fact that he sometimes has other sexual partners when he travels away from his village for work.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Both of these women—already facing the possibility of acquiring HIV—are much more likely to acquire HIV when they are pregnant or postpartum. It’s common around the world for women who are pregnant to get tested for HIV and be offered HIV treatment if needed to protect themselves and their babies. But it’s rare that they know about the heightened risk of HIV during pregnancy and postpartum, and that there are safe and effective HIV prevention options.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Evidence shows that oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and the dapivirine vaginal ring are safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, as is post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) for those who may be exposed to HIV unexpectedly. Our collective experience as clinicians, program managers and researchers working across disciplines in HIV/AIDS and reproductive health convinces us there needs to be expanded access—beyond PrEP clinics—to all these options. If we take away barriers to knowledge and care for people who are marginalized, women who are pregnant and postpartum will access what they need for themselves and their babies to be healthy.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>With 2030 looming, and the \u003Ca href=\"https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9789240077065\">Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the balance\u003C/a>, the world has only around 15 percent of the number of nurses and midwives needed. The global shortage of physicians is also dire, especially in areas most impacted by the HIV epidemic. Despite efforts to expand, design, execute and incentivize an adequate health care workforce, the majority of global citizens don’t have adequate access to health care providers.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Ending HIV/AIDS as a public health threat depends on our kick-starting a radical re-shaping of client care. While the world looks to expanding primary and community-based health care, women who are pregnant and postpartum should not be left behind.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>As a complement to building more comprehensive, high-quality antenatal and postnatal care services, HIV testing and a range of PrEP and PEP options that are safe during pregnancy and postpartum—including self-care methods—could be made fully available and accessible to all. Online pharmacies and local community pharmacies, which are open from dawn until almost midnight, could offer these services to those who fear being stigmatized if they seek a test or HIV prevention options. With strong alignment with local regulatory frameworks, appropriate health system linkages and community engagement, this approach holds great promise, and the feasibility and acceptability of these new options deserve to be tested and better understood.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Fostering a dramatic evolution of client-centered care requires putting HIV prevention into the hands of those who need it most, including those who are pregnant and postpartum. If prevention is the ultimate in self-care, which we believe it is, then it stands to reason that sustainable health systems and our achievement of global goals depend upon putting HIV prevention squarely and securely in the hands of all priority populations, including pregnant and postpartum women.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cem>Nthuseng Marake, MBChB, BSc.

A new drug molecule moves from laboratory discovery, through phased clinical trials, to regulatory approval, and eventually into public procurement mechanisms that stock hospitals and pharmacies. Vaccines and diagnostics follow similarly structured stage-gates—rigorous evidence generation, regulatory oversight, pooled procurement, and policy inclusion. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>For \u003Cstrong>digital health innovations\u003C/strong>, however, the story is very different. Whether it’s a referral app connecting rural clinics to hospitals, a tele-counseling chatbot for adolescents, or an emergency transport dispatch platform, innovators often find themselves in uncharted waters.

neglected area in global health security.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>After several years as a hospital-based physician, Dr. Seriki wanted to expand his impact from individuals to communities. He embarked on a two-year field epidemiology training program led by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Nigeria. This took him to 29 of the country’s 36 states, where he gained extensive field experience in infectious disease surveillance and response. Upon completion of the program, Dr. Seriki led a World Health Organization joint vaccination program in Nigeria focused on measles and meningitis.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>And then COVID-19 struck. With immunization programs paused and the pandemic calling for his expertise, Dr. Seriki headed to Lagos, the epicenter of COVID-19 in Nigeria. There, as a member of the COVID-19 response team, he supported the country’s surveillance efforts, including point-of-entry screening and testing.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>This led him to Jhpiego Sierra Leone, where he leads the CDC-funded Enhancing Global Health Security project.

in terms of immigration—customs to check goods you are coming in with, and immigration to check whether you are eligible to come into the country. Port health services include screening passengers for disease as they enter or leave a country.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cblockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n\u003Cp>“But diseases do not recognize borders, crossing points or points of entry, so border health is not limited to screening, but also includes intensifying surveillance in the border communities and collaborating with neighboring countries on public health functions”. — Ibrahim Seriki\u003C/p>\n\u003C/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>It also includes risk communication, infection prevention and control, laboratory capacity for testing at the point of entry, and vaccination. As the International Health Regulations (IHR) (2005) outline, the point is to prevent the international spread of diseases. [The IHR (2005) is a legally binding agreement among 196 countries that defines how countries should respond to public health emergencies of international concern.]\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>Q: How does health security at land borders differ from health security at airports or seaports?\u003C/strong>\u003C/h5>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>IS: The vast majority of travelers are crossing through the land borders—at both designated [those that meet IHR core capacities] and undesignated ground crossing points—not the airport. Only people who have money can afford to fly. \u003Cstrong>Ground crossing points should get more attention\u003C/strong> when it comes to response. The risk of spread is evident from the Ebola outbreak in 2014/2015. The outbreak started in Guinea and affected all the neighboring countries because the communities are so interconnected, with vast population movement. The majority of people who pass through the crossing points live within the border communities, especially those informal crossing points that are not manned. So it’s necessary to intensify surveillance in the nearby health facilities—and ensure the supply of medical consumables.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>Q: What are the main issues to consider when developing a border security plan?\u003C/strong>\u003C/h5>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>IS: For border health generally, we are governed by the International Health Regulations. At the same time, we try to tailor the response plan to the locally accepted way of doing things. Then, of course, \u003Cstrong>communication is key\u003C/strong>. You need to communicate to travelers why you’re doing this, what are the risks, what diseases are endemic in the visiting country. And there should be community engagement with border communities, because in some places people are crossing without [border] personnel for screening. Community stakeholders can play a role in supporting these unmanned crossing points.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>Q: How do you prepare health workers and officials from different countries to work together and respond to an actual health emergency?\u003C/strong>\u003C/h5>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>IS: You have to maintain collaboration over time. If there’s \u003Cstrong>strong collaboration between countries\u003C/strong>, maybe through a formal agreement and information-sharing mechanism, then there can be a joint response because they’re used to doing things together. We initiated some level of collaboration during a regional tabletop exercise [a desktop simulation of an emergency response, such as a Lassa fever outbreak]. Our colleagues from Liberia and Guinea came to act as observers and evaluators, and we also went to Liberia to do the same. We’ve built some connections. To sustain that connection, we have to continue to do activities together. We’ve had regional meetings, as well, with the four countries in the Mano River Union region (Liberia, Guinea, Sierra Leone and Côte d’Ivoire) and binational meetings with Liberia.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>We need joint cross-country plans, like the one we developed for Sierra Leone and Liberia during one of our cross-border meetings. Prediction and prevention of outbreaks will only be relevant if countries respond as one.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Every outbreak is a lesson\u003C/strong>. After the Ebola outbreak, diverse country coordination has been strengthened. Countries have learned how to mount an effective response to public health emergencies. The COVID-19 pandemic also provided an opportunity for the health security to be strengthened, despite language differences. For instance, Guinea has had recent disease outbreaks (especially viral hemorrhagic fevers) in the region. And they didn’t disappoint. They shared a lot of best practices. That’s the idea of these exercises—simulating a scenario and everybody gets to talk about how they would respond.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>You can never stop preparing. It’s not cheap, but if you prepare very well, it will save you a lot more money if there is a pandemic or outbreak—and not just money, but lives lost. Preparedness helps reduce the money you’re spending when there’s an emergency. That’s why we have partnerships like \u003Ca href=\"https://www.worldbank.org/en/programs/financial-intermediary-fund-for-pandemic-prevention-preparedness-and-response-ppr-fif/overview\">The Pandemic Fund\u003C/a>. The World Bank, Global Fund, everybody now wants to invest in preparedness.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>Q: What other actions are you taking to support border health?\u003C/strong>\u003C/h5>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>IS: Something we are doing uniquely here is \u003Cstrong>population movement mapping in land border\u003C/strong> districts to identify areas with risk of disease transmission. This is a mixed-method study with qualitative focus group discussions and spatial analysis to identify where people frequent, including their point of entry and the reason for the visit. It could be for health care, for religious purposes, for schooling, or for markets. When we identify which areas are visited the most, we plan in terms of what to do if there’s an outbreak in the neighboring country, and make plans to allocate resources accordingly. During preparedness or silent periods, we can recommend that those places be strengthened for surveillance as well as risk communication. You can strengthen surveillance at the health facility. You can strengthen risk communication at the schools, at the market and at religious sites. You can also target the health facility for increased infection prevention supplies because they may be at more risk.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>We are also supporting the Ministry of Health to develop \u003Cstrong>a national border health policy\u003C/strong>. While the public health emergency response plan is meant for emergency settings, the border policy will guide both routine and emergency settings. The policy, based on the International Health Regulations, will detail the governance, components of the port health system and roles and responsibilities of the different sectors working in the national border health system. I don’t think any other country has this policy. We need to raise the bar.\u003C/p>\n","\u003Cp>As a medical doctor with training and hands-on experience in infectious disease surveillance and emergency response, Ibrahim Seriki is the expert you

and Viamo Partner to Improve Global Health Outcomes through Generative AI Solutions","\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Baltimore, USA and ​​Saskatoon, CANADA\u003C/strong>—Jhpiego, a global leader in health care solutions, and Viamo Inc., a trailblazer in mobile phone engagement in emerging markets, have announced a strategic partnership aimed at co-creating and scaling Generative AI-powered solutions over voice calls to improve health outcomes around the world. With a focus on strengthening accessibility, inclusiveness, and efficiency, Jhpiego and Viamo are taking a bold step to democratize access to care. They are reaching communities and health workers beyond the digital frontier and expanding access to timely, trusted health information while enhancing health workers skills.  \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Together, Jhpiego and Viamo will develop accessible solutions that are toll-free, without requiring smartphones, internet, or even literacy. This empowers people to take control of their health journeys while providing community health workers with real-time support and continuous learning.   \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“This partnership is a bold step in democratizing access to health information by combining Viamo’s voice-first GenAI technology with Jhpiego’s technical and programmatic health expertise,” said Debora Bossemeyer, Senior Vice President for Global Programs and Technical Excellence at Jhpiego. “Together, we are going beyond information delivery; we will strengthen self-care, support governments with real-time data, and reach offline populations often excluded from digital solutions. This will increase access with quality and efficiency.” \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Together, the two organizations will co-develop prioritized Generative AI solutions, including a health provider assistant and community self-care and triage assistant. These tools will improve access to accurate health information and generate real-time, population-level insights – giving health systems and policymakers a social-listening-like window into emerging needs, trends, and challenges. The partnership will focus on key health areas such as HIV prevention, care and treatment, maternal and child health, primary health care, and community engagement across all emerging markets. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“AI dominates global conversation, yet practical applications for the nearly three billion people who remain offline are still rare. Together with Jhpiego, we’re laser-focused on harnessing AI responsibly to bridge the world’s widest and most persistent digital divides,” said Kellen Eilerts, Chief Partnerships Officer at Viamo. “With AI delivered over a simple voice call, even the most basic phones become a bridge to the sum of human knowledge, unlocking health, opportunity, and agency for the world’s most underserved populations.” \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>​​​Leveraging an 11-year collaboration, Jhpiego and Viamo are now pioneering a Generative AI hotline in Mozambique. This innovative tool will provide critical, on-demand support to caregivers of Orphans and Vulnerable Children living with HIV, building on their long-standing work to strengthen health systems. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Viamo will leverage its extensive expertise in driving behavior change over voice calls, its existing Viamo Platform with 8 million monthly active users run in partnership with leading mobile network providers, and ongoing innovation in voice-first Generative AI to develop the technology to give communities agency with personalized advice at scale. Jhpiego will contribute its deep technical knowledge of health systems, relationships with Ministries of Health, and insights gleaned from field-level programmatic innovations to co-develop impactful content and policies. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Their partnership also commits to joint research, evidence generation, and shared learning initiatives to strengthen the effectiveness and scalability. Both organizations aim to leverage Generative AI to support approaches such as self- and family-led care, improving the timeliness and quality of diagnosis, treatment, and care. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>About Jhpiego\u003C/strong> \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Jhpiego is a global non-governmental organization active in approximately 37 countries, dedicated to creating and delivering transformative health care solutions that save lives.

Through a series of human-centered design workshops in Malawi and Zambia, “we realized that so much of the messaging that we create for men has shame hidden inside of it,” said Dotson. “People were telling us that ‘it takes courage to get tested’ because HIV is often portrayed as this scary, catastrophic disease.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“They weren’t getting tested because they didn’t feel like they had the courage to go down the entire path of managing a positive diagnosis,” Dotson added. “So we started thinking about how to break down courage into manageable steps: you just need to find the courage to do the next thing.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Shortly after the RISE project’s launch in Nigeria, the implementing team saw a clear gap emerging between men’s and women’s use of HIV services.

With supplemental funds from the U.S. Agency for International Development, the RISE team created a virtual, COVID-19-safe initiative that leveraged technology and social media platforms to link men with HIV services. This approach required precise messaging that would resonate with men, building on what Dotson had heard in Malawi and Zambia. “For men, it is not enough to just increase risk perception and remove barriers,” said Adetosoye Adebanjo, the HIV testing Services (HTS) community advisor for RISE Nigeria. “Men have to desire the service and see how it will help them achieve what they most want.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>RISE put together a team of experts from Mann Global Health, Anova Health Institute and Jhpiego, including Dotson and Adebanjo. The team spent three months undergoing their own all-virtual human-centered design process: holding consultations, mocking up social media posts and organizing WhatsApp focus groups.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“The focus groups consistently preferred and requested tender depictions of support, joy and love, rather than conquering challenges all alone through brute strength,” said Adebanjo.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cblockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n\u003Cp>They wanted to be ‘valorous,’ and they wanted their courage to be celebrated.” – Adetosoye Adebanjo\u003C/p>\n\u003C/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">“Claim your valor.” Strong branding gives credibility\u003C/h4>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>This led to the development of VALOR as the campaign and brand. Through well-designed and targeted Facebook advertisements, men in Akwa Ibom and Cross River State were linked to trained VIP guides on WhatsApp with compelling, confidential, empathetic messages to address their concerns. They created a safe space to learn about improved HIV treatments and prevention interventions, with mechanisms in place for referral to needed services.

help reduce the threat of antimalarial drug resistance in Burkina Faso, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda, Uganda and beyond.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The project, called Scaling the Optimal Use of Multiple ACTs to Prevent Antimalarial Drug Resistance (STOP-AMDR), will introduce and scale multiple artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs), a treatment regimen to mitigate antimalarial drug resistance.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Malaria remains a major public health challenge and the emergence of drug-resistant strains of malaria-carrying parasites threatens to undermine decades of progress. Partial antimalarial resistance and increases in the proportion of parasites with Pfkelch13 mutations have been documented in Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Sudan, Tanzania, and northern and southern Uganda. There are concerns that Pfkelch13 and other mutations associated with partial antimalarial medication resistance may be circulating undetected more widely, posing a significant threat to efforts to control and eliminate malaria in Africa.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Without a well-funded, coordinated, continent-wide response, malaria-related morbidity and mortality could be catastrophic, especially for at-risk populations such as pregnant women and children under 5.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“STOP-AMDR will help ensure that children, pregnant women, and communities most at risk of malaria continue to benefit from effective treatment,” said Dr. Gladys Tetteh, Senior Technical Director for Malaria at Jhpiego.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https://jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/STOP-AMDR-Client-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4277\" style=\"width:618px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/STOP-AMDR-Client-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/STOP-AMDR-Client-300x200.jpg 300w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/STOP-AMDR-Client-768x512.jpg 768w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/STOP-AMDR-Client-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/STOP-AMDR-Client-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/STOP-AMDR-Client-810x540.jpg 810w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/STOP-AMDR-Client-375x250.jpg 375w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/STOP-AMDR-Client-960x640.jpg 960w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/STOP-AMDR-Client-1280x853.jpg 1280w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/STOP-AMDR-Client-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/STOP-AMDR-Client-2560x1707.jpg 2560w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/STOP-AMDR-Client-3840x2560.jpg 3840w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/STOP-AMDR-Client.jpg 6000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" />\u003C/figure>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Grounded in country-specific contexts and under the leadership of Dr. Rima Shretta, STOP-AMDR project director, Jhpiego will work with national governments and National Malaria Programs, the private sector, local institutions, and civil society to help countries understand their unique barriers to antimalarial medication resistance and devise lasting solutions that work for all children, parents, providers and the health system.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“This project represents a critical step in safeguarding global malaria efforts and ensuring that treatments remain effective for decades to come. We’re honored to partner with Unitaid in this effort,” said Dr. Shretta.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>STOP-AMDR will help protect the efficacy of existing antimalarial medication by connecting research and implementation learning with market shaping efforts, steering change through the adoption of multiple first-line therapies as a key strategy to mitigate or slow-down the spread of resistance to antimalarial medication. This includes a focus on ACT diversification and facilitating strengthened supply chain systems, supporting national policy updates, and improving access and affordability of newer ACTs.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>In addition, STOP-AMDR will influence the introduction of multiple first-line therapies in twelve additional observer countries: Angola, Eritrea, Senegal, Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, Ethiopia, Ghana, Liberia, Madagascar, Malawi, Mozambique, and Tanzania.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>About Unitaid\u003C/strong>\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Unitaid is a global health organization that saves lives by making new health products available and affordable for people in low- and middle-income countries.

Though several drugs can treat the life-threatening condition, recent findings show that \u003Ca href=\"https://www.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NEJMoa2303966\">up to half of all women\u003C/a> in low- and middle-income countries who experience postpartum hemorrhage are identified too late or not at all because healthcare staff must rely on visual estimates of blood loss. As a result, life-saving treatment can be delayed or not provided. Jhpiego, with US$2.3 million in support from Unitaid, will now integrate a simple, objective blood loss measurement device – the calibrated drape – into an existing initiative working to make childbirth safer through improved access to recommended postpartum hemorrhage interventions.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The calibrated drape is a piece of plastic sheeting that hangs off the end of the delivery table and collects and measures blood in a clear pouch at its base. This helps birth attendants quickly and accurately identify life-threatening levels of bleeding and connect women in need with treatment.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>With additional support from the Gates Foundation, Unitaid and Jhpiego will support integration of the drape into existing health programs in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Guinea and India, and lead catalytic procurement in Rwanda. These activities are part of the \u003Ca href=\"https://jhpiego.org/areas-of-expertise/ampli-pphi/\">Accelerating Measurable Progress and Leveraging Investments for Postpartum Hemorrhage Impact\u003C/a> (AMPLI-PPHI) project, a US$26.7 million investment from Unitaid.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https://jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/India_2023_Elkin-Hospital_A_KarenKasmauski-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2415\" srcset=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/India_2023_Elkin-Hospital_A_KarenKasmauski-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/India_2023_Elkin-Hospital_A_KarenKasmauski-300x200.jpg 300w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/India_2023_Elkin-Hospital_A_KarenKasmauski-768x512.jpg 768w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/India_2023_Elkin-Hospital_A_KarenKasmauski-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/India_2023_Elkin-Hospital_A_KarenKasmauski-810x540.jpg 810w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/India_2023_Elkin-Hospital_A_KarenKasmauski-375x250.jpg 375w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/India_2023_Elkin-Hospital_A_KarenKasmauski-960x640.jpg 960w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/India_2023_Elkin-Hospital_A_KarenKasmauski-1280x853.jpg 1280w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/India_2023_Elkin-Hospital_A_KarenKasmauski-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/India_2023_Elkin-Hospital_A_KarenKasmauski.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" />\u003C/figure>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“Postpartum hemorrhage can very quickly become life-threatening. Visually estimating blood loss delays access to critical postpartum hemorrhage treatment for women who need it,” said Dr. Jeffrey Smith, Senior Technical Manager at Unitaid. “Unitaid and Jhpiego aim to help countries answer questions about how best to implement this innovative blood loss measurement device alongside postpartum hemorrhage medicines to support country efforts to reduce maternal deaths through cost-effective interventions.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>In Kenya, where the government has moved ahead with procurement of the drape in Makueni county, the AMPLI-PPHI project is observing promising initial signs that the package of tools the project supports is helping to improve care for women.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“A birth should be a joyous occasion, not a tragedy,” said H.E. Mutula Kilonzo Junior, Governor of Makueni County, Kenya. “It’s heartbreaking that women continue to die from postpartum hemorrhage, a condition that is both preventable and treatable with the right tools and timely care. But with early detection and immediate intervention, we are saving lives. I’m proud to share that since implementing this comprehensive care package, we did not record a single maternal death from postpartum hemorrhage in the public sector in Makueni County in 2023 and 2024.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The AMPLI-PPHI project aims to improve access to quality health products that prevent, detect and treat postpartum hemorrhage for women in low- and middle-income countries. Project activities in DRC, Guinea, India, Kenya, Nigeria and Zambia are designed to support these countries and the broader regions to scale up lifesaving interventions. In addition to the calibrated drape, the project is accelerating access to \u003Ca href=\"https://unitaid.org/innovations/heat-stable-carbetocin/\">heat-stable carbetocin\u003C/a>, \u003Ca href=\"https://unitaid.org/innovations/tranexamic-acid/\">tranexamic acid\u003C/a> and \u003Ca href=\"https://unitaid.org/innovations/misoprostol/\">misoprostol\u003C/a> – three critical drugs for preventing and treating postpartum hemorrhage.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“With more than 50 years of experience helping countries improve their maternal health services, we are proud to partner with Unitaid,” said Dr. Leslie Mancuso, Jhpiego President and CEO. “This innovative solution ensures timely detection of postpartum hemorrhage and helps health workers act quickly and decisively, saving lives by ensuring rapid response when every second counts.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>In Nigeria and Zambia, AMPLI-PPHI is already integrating the calibrated drape into health programs through SafeBirth Africa, a joint project with the European Union. The additional funding to AMPLI-PPHI will now ensure the calibrated drape is integrated into AMPLI-PPHI programming in the remaining project countries. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Additional quotes\u003C/strong>\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“It is with great joy that we welcome the imminent arrival of calibrated drapes in Guinea. This will improve the quality of postpartum hemorrhage diagnosis and guide appropriate case management through the eMOTIVE approach. We hope to ensure that we have continuous access to the supplier of this medical equipment so that we can purchase it at an affordable price and regularly supply our health facilities,” said Dr. Siré Camara, Head of the National Directorate of Family Health and Nutrition Ministry of Health and Public Hygiene, Guinea.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“Through our supervision in the health zones of Kimpense and Kisantu (Democratic Republic of Congo), we have found that healthcare providers have difficulty objectively quantifying blood loss during childbirth and the postpartum period. This leads to delayed detection of postpartum hemorrhage cases, resulting in late and often difficult management, including delayed referrals to higher-level health facilities, multiple blood transfusions, and sometimes death. These delays compromise the chances of successful treatment… We are therefore eager to begin this initiative, which offers the country an opportunity to reduce maternal mortality related to PPH and thus achieve its SDGs by 2030,” said Dr Chantal Lusikila, Head of the Family Health Division, Ministry of Public Health, Hygiene, and Social Welfare, Democratic Republic of Congo.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>About AMPLI-PPHI\u003C/strong>\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The Unitaid-funded Accelerating Measurable Progress and Leveraging Investments for Postpartum Hemorrhage Impact (\u003Ca href=\"https://www.jhpiego.org/pph-Unitaid/\">AMPLI-PPHI\u003C/a>) project (2022–2026) is a $26 million initiative that focuses on generating evidence and learning, creating an enabling environment, and preparing the market to enable broad uptake of the three drugs – heat-stable carbetocin, tranexamic acid and misoprostol – in low- and middle-income countries. The Unitaid-Jhpiego program is working in partnership with the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO), PATH and country governments in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Guinea, India and Kenya to ensure PPH medications are available at the right time, in the right place, for the right indication, and for the right patient across health systems.  With complimentary funding from Safe Birth Africa, a joint Unitaid-UNFPA venture backed by the European Union, AMPLI-PPHI has expanded to Nigeria and Zambia in 2024 to bring greater access to pregnant women and stop bleeding after birth, ultimately reducing maternal morbidity and mortality.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>About Unitaid\u003C/strong>\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Unitaid is a global health organization that saves lives by making new health products available and affordable for people in low- and middle-income countries.

Before setting out, Kalaya assembled an emergency kit, which included a delivery kit, oxytocin to prevent postpartum hemorrhage, a pair of gloves, a blood pressure monitor, a mask and oxygen.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"269\" src=\"https://jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/guinea-story-300x269-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5632\"/>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Kalaya Kourouma, a midwife at the Boffa District Hospital in Guinea.\u003C/figcaption>\u003C/figure>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>By the time the ambulance delivered the midwife to Koukoudé village at 9:00 p.m., the family at the scene was panicking. Kalaya’s examination revealed that the woman’s blood pressure was low—and that the unborn twin was in a breech presentation.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Through the Health Service Delivery (HSD) project, initiated in 2016 in partnership with the Ministry of Health in Guinea and funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development, Jhpiego helped create mobile clinics as a way to serve hard-to-reach communities and develop trust in the health care system. It’s part of an ongoing effort to address underutilization of health care services and facilities by communities that have lost trust in them, whether because of the Ebola epidemic or due to poor quality and availability of care—all of which exacerbate people’s wariness.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Boffa District Hospital, where midwife Kayala works, has received HSD project support for various interventions related to maternal health: training in basic and comprehensive emergency obstetric and newborn care, provision of equipment and materials, regular supervision, and establishment of a continuous quality improvement process for the workplace.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The HSD project received supplemental funding in 2019 specifically for outreach activities. To this end, the project created mobile clinics as a way to provide health services to women in hard-to-reach communities using ambulances purchased by the project during weekly open-air markets in different villages. However, the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting restrictions interrupted full implementation. The project changed its strategy and designated these ambulances as mobile clinics to meet the obstetrical referral needs of district maternity hospitals.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>It was one of those ambulances that midwife Kalaya commandeered to transport herself and the mother, along with newborn twin No. 1, to the district hospital.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Just a few miles into the journey, the mother’s contractions started again. The midwife called for the ambulance to stop. Then and there, in the vehicle, she capably and safely performed a breech delivery, following the national protocol. A healthy baby boy was born at 9:30 p.m. Kalaya conducted an initial newborn assessment and provided appropriate care.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The driver took to the road again, driving cautiously and finally arriving at 11:00 p.m. at the district hospital, where a care team of midwives, nurses and doctors awaited the woman and her two babies. After three days of observation, they returned to their village. The woman’s mother-in-law and husband repeatedly blessed and thanked the staff, especially the quick-acting Kalaya who had come to their rescue.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The mother received family planning counseling at the hospital and chose an implant, which was inserted before discharge. The midwife followed up with the health post and confirmed that the mother had returned for postnatal care and was doing well.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Through the HSD project, Kalaya, a widow and mother of five, said she and her department colleagues have been made to feel like “queens.” “I feel proud of the job I’m doing! What made this experience even more special for me was the communication with the hospital team to prepare everything before our arrival, including the laboratory and the operating room,” she said.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cblockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n\u003Cp>“The availability of the ambulance has put us at ease, because it reduces referral delays.

All presented with complications, including hemorrhaging during the first or last trimester, prolonged labor, eclampsia, abnormal presentation of the baby and postpartum anemia.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Working in the Boffa district since the start of HSD, the project has achieved encouraging results there despite the challenges of the pandemic. The district has seen a 28% increase in assisted deliveries, with use of the partograph to monitor labor increasing from 18% to 77%, and active management of the third stage of labor increasing from 60% to 99%, and a decrease in the incidence of postpartum hemorrhage from 0.9% to 0.6%. Of special note, the hospital was awarded its first star by the Ministry of Health through the HSD project for improving the quality of services through performance standards in emergency obstetric and newborn care, family planning and infection prevention and control.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cem>Jacqueline Aribot, Director of Monitoring and Evaluation, and Mohamed Nioké V, District Project Coordinator, are with Jhpiego’s Guinea Office.\u003C/em>\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003C/p>\n","\u003Cp>The frantic call from a nurse at the Koukoudé health post came in at 8 p.m. A woman in labor with twins had given birth to the first baby, but now, hours later, the second baby had not yet arrived.\u003C/p>\n","a-midwife-and-ambulance-to-the-rescue","https://jhpiego.org/our-stories/p/a-midwife-and-ambulance-to-the-rescue/","/our-stories/p/a-midwife-and-ambulance-to-the-rescue/","2021-12-15T02:38:00","2025-08-29T02:49:42",{"id":1927,"src":1928,"width":33,"height":1929,"alt":20,"caption":1930,"title":1931,"description":20,"mimeType":23,"html":1932,"srcset":1933,"sizes":1934,"meta":1935,"acf":1944},5632,"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/guinea-story-300x269-1.jpg",269,"Kalaya Kourouma, a midwife at the Boffa District Hospital in Guinea.","guinea-story-300x269","\u003Cimg width=\"300\" height=\"269\" src=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/guinea-story-300x269-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" />","https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/guinea-story-300x269-1.jpg 300w","300px",{"width":33,"height":1929,"file":1936,"filesize":1937,"sizes":1938,"imageMeta":1942},"2025/08/guinea-story-300x269-1.jpg",35654,{"thumbnail":1939},{"file":1940,"width":43,"height":43,"mimeType":23,"filesize":1941},"guinea-story-300x269-1-150x150.jpg",19718,{"aperture":86,"credit":20,"camera":20,"caption":20,"createdTimestamp":86,"copyright":20,"focalLength":86,"iso":86,"shutterSpeed":86,"title":20,"orientation":309,"keywords":1943},[],{"primaryColor":1945,"blurhash":1946},"#a6674a","UcKS;RaccWwI~Wrr$+smNFs:NHt6Z#kWNZof",{"id":1948,"guid":1949,"title":1950,"content":1951,"excerpt":1952,"excerptRaw":1952,"slug":1953,"url":1954,"uri":1955,"to":1955,"status":325,"date":1956,"modified":1957,"type":328,"authorId":329,"featuredMedia":1958},2388,"https://jhpiego.netlify.app/?p=2388","Compassion in Every Step: Madina’s Journey as a Cervical Cancer Advocate","\n\u003Cp>\u003Cem>In Burkina Faso, where \u003Cstrong>cervical cancer remains a leading cause of death among women\u003C/strong>, community health worker Madina Ouedraogo is making a powerful impact by promoting \u003Cstrong>self-screening for HPV\u003C/strong> through door-to-door outreach.

Neighbors, friends, and family members in Ouagadougou have increasingly received heartbreaking cervical cancer prognoses. Relying on CHWs like Madina, SUCCESS aims to reverse this by including community-based screening through self-sampling as a complement to facility-based screening. This approach consists of going into communities to raise awareness among local leaders, women, and men to get as many women as possible to attend a community screening.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“We seek out women between the ages of 30 and 49,” says Madina. “We give them the different methods of sampling (self-sampling or provider-collected) and each one chooses the one that suits them. Two weeks later, the results are available at the health facility, and we send them to the clients’ homes.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Self-sampling is overwhelmingly selected by women for convenience and privacy.  CHWs collect each sample from their clients’ homes and then transport them to health facilities for analysis in a laboratory. The results are then often delivered via phone or door-to-door by a health worker. Those who test positive for HPV are invited to go to the health facility for visual assessment. This determines if there are any precancerous lesions present, and if detected, treatment is administered to eliminate them.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>Increased screening rates: A sign that awareness works\u003C/strong>\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>In six months, through hard work, Madina has helped more than 200 women self-sample and learn their HPV status. Those who tested positive for HPV were referred by Madina to the closest health facility for care.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“To move toward the goal of eliminating cervical cancer by 2030, the SUCCESS Project has focused on the involvement of community health workers like Madina,” says Dr. Claude Linda Traoré, the SUCCESS Project Manager. “They play an indispensable role in the success of the project through the tremendous work of raising awareness and mobilizing populations. The results are palpable and Madina’s example demonstrates this.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Every day, Madina is persistent. She knows that helping women avert this silent and very dangerous disease will give them healthier futures.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“At the beginning, one client I saw was a little reluctant to take the test and I had to convince her several times,” says Madina. “But when her HPV result came back positive, her precancerous lesions were treated. Today, she thanks us for helping her escape cervical cancer.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Since 2020, the SUCCESS project has collaborated with 150 CHWs and 50 community leaders, reaching 38,360 women.

There’s an old-world charm in its winding alleys and historic yet simple markets, a warmth in the way neighbors greet each other, and a dry yet soothing air that carries the scent of dust and earth. Every road presents a living tapestry of movement and life—cars weaving past high-roof jeeps; pushcarts brimming with fresh, juicy seasonal fruits and vegetables; and a slow-moving herd of sheep and shepherds strolling along the roadside, unhurried and unbothered. Along with tradition and culture, it is a community where patriarchy is the norm.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>On my last visit to this city, I met Bilal Khan, a 35-year-old community social mobilizer trained by Jhpiego Pakistan to deliver men’s engagement intervention. We decided to chat under a shaded Deodar cedar. Bilal’s roots are as deep as the tree we sat under—his grandparents were among the early families who settled in Quetta. He is married and has a son.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>After completing his degree in commerce in Balochistan, Bilal spent his first professional years in the pharmaceutical sector, specializing in eye care. He learned valuable lessons like how to communicate with precision, win trust, build relationships, and even launch new products with confidence. He honed his outreach and relationship-building skills while deepening his understanding of the health needs of the community.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-4 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Bilal-and-Fahad_5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6724\" srcset=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Bilal-and-Fahad_5.jpg 1024w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Bilal-and-Fahad_5-300x225.jpg 300w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Bilal-and-Fahad_5-768x576.jpg 768w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Bilal-and-Fahad_5-720x540.jpg 720w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Bilal-and-Fahad_5-375x281.jpg 375w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Bilal-and-Fahad_5-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" />\u003C/figure>\n\u003C/div>\n\n\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Bilal-and-Fahad_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6725\" srcset=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Bilal-and-Fahad_1.jpg 1024w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Bilal-and-Fahad_1-300x225.jpg 300w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Bilal-and-Fahad_1-768x576.jpg 768w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Bilal-and-Fahad_1-720x540.jpg 720w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Bilal-and-Fahad_1-375x281.jpg 375w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Bilal-and-Fahad_1-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" />\u003C/figure>\n\u003C/div>\n\u003C/div>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Then came the turning point. In November 2024, the Organization for Community Services and Development (OCSD), a local civil society organization (CSO), was recruiting male mobilizers for a Jhpiego-led and Gavi-supported \u003Cem>Men’s Engagement Project\u003C/em>. Bilal applied and was selected.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cblockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n\u003Cp>“My career took a new turn. I found my true calling working directly with communities, engaging men to actively participate in improving family health, and supporting positive change in society.” – Bilal Khan\u003C/p>\n\u003C/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>But he wasn’t just working with men to help them understand their role in family health. His perspective of what it means to be a man was changing too. “Before this project, I was like many other men in my neighborhood,” he said. “I worked long hours, came home tired, and barely spoke to my children. My wife managed everything at home—the cooking, cleaning, and children’s studies. I thought that’s how it was supposed to be.” He then smiled and added, “This work has allowed me to witness transformations at both a personal and community level.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>He recalled a specific incident that changed his outlook on “manhood.” One of the sessions in the curriculum was titled “Caring for a Baby.” It involved role play and simulation, where the facilitator had to hold a two-foot doll and demonstrate caregiving tasks in front of 10 to 12 male caregivers seated in a circle. Representing a range of ages and backgrounds, the men in Bilal’s circle communicated in Balochi, Farsi (Persian), and Pashto. Their professions were varied, encompassing laborers, shopkeepers, vegetable vendors, a pharmacy employee, and a taxi driver, among others. They were all fathers, averaging five to six children each.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“I was nervous that day,” Bilal said. “I was sweating, full of anxiety. I kept wondering, ‘When I reveal this doll, how will they react? Will they take it seriously?’”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, as soon as he brought out the doll, the men began laughing. Some teased him openly: “What are you doing? Why are you holding a baby doll? You don’t look good holding that thing.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>In that moment, Bilal could have stepped back. But instead, he found a new surge of confidence. Standing taller, his voice firm, he addressed the group. “Imagine this doll is your newborn. It’s two in the morning. Your wife, who worked all day, fed the baby, and did the house chores, is exhausted and finally asleep. The baby is crying because it needs to be fed again or changed. Will you not hold your baby? How will you hold them?”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The group fell silent. Then, in low voices, some whispered, “He’s right… after all, it’s our baby.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>That’s when Bilal knew he had their attention. “I continued the session, and they enjoyed it,” he said. “They learned something that day. You see, it’s not about holding a toy doll. It’s about the perception in this community that caregiving is only for women. That’s what I wanted to challenge.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>By the end of the session, each participant, even the most reluctant, had taken a turn holding the doll and practicing the role play. There was still laughter, still a bit of shyness, but the exercise had planted a seed.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“Now,” Bilal said with a proud smile, “I help my kids with homework. I cook sometimes. Most importantly, I listen. And when I speak to other fathers, I tell them this: this is not weakness. This is love. This is strength.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>As we sat under the tree, it became clear to me that Bilal had undergone a shift not just in behavior but in identity. He no longer saw himself as a mobilizer. He had become a role model in his community, a man willing to guide others into conversations that had long been considered taboo. Now, he leads discussions with fathers about emotional well-being, caregiving, and mutual respect in marriage, and about being a supportive partner.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Some traditions and cultural habits run so deep that no one questions them, even when they quietly turn into harmful gender norms. \u003Cstrong>Bilal’s story is proof of the quiet but powerful ripple that male engagement can create. This kind of work is not only feasible but truly welcomed in communities like Quetta, which has been untapped for a long time.\u003C/strong>\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The most significant shifts in society don’t always start with big speeches or sweeping reforms. They start small—with moments like a father sitting beside his daughter, helping her with her homework, or tucking her into bed at night. And even in the most traditional, most feudal corners of communities, change can happen because every town has a Bilal who can ignite positive change from within.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>JHPIEGO’s MEN’S ENGAGEMENT INITIATIVE\u003C/strong>\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cem>In Pakistan, traditional roles often sideline fathers in caregiving, as societal norms discourage men from engaging in what is seen as “women’s work.” To bridge this gap, Jhpiego Pakistan and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, piloted an operations research project to test the feasibility of engaging men as caregivers in child health and immunization through a gender-transformative approach. Adapted from the Bandebereho model in Rwanda and contextualized for Pakistan, the Men’s Engagement intervention invited fathers to participate in 8–10 community group sessions conducted within their own neighborhoods. These participatory sessions positioned fathers as role models not only to lead but also to nurture, bringing male caregivers together to listen, share, and engage in meaningful dialogue. The goal was to challenge harmful masculine norms that limit men’s roles as caregivers and to encourage reflection on how they could contribute positively within their families. Through these discussions, men learned about areas of maternal and child health, including reproductive health, care during pregnancy, safe delivery, immunization, family planning, conflict resolution, household task sharing, gender-based violence, and couple communication. Central to this approach were social mobilizers from grassroots civil society organizations, who themselves were parents and caregivers, making it easier to connect with male participants and encourage meaningful engagement.\u003C/em>\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cem>Fahad Abbasi is a Technical Advisor for Gender and Research in Jhpiego’s Pakistan Office. \u003C/em>\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cem>Carol Ajema is the Senior Technical Advisor for Gender Equity at Jhpiego.\u003C/em>\u003C/p>\n","\u003Cp>This is the story of Bilal, a community mobilizer delivering men’s engagement interventions.

When the South African government asked for NGOs to assist with COVID vaccination campaigns, Jhpiego offered to help, drawing on its logistical, administrative and procurement experience with VMMC as well as its experience in generating interest in preventive care among adult men, who have been slower to take up the COVID-19 vaccine in South Africa, said Dr. Christopher Morgan, Jhpiego’s senior technical advisor for immunization. This included everything from understanding what materials would be needed – needles, gauze, sharps bins, etc. – and where to procure them, as well as how to answer questions that clients might ask, like, “Why can’t I stand for the vaccination? Why do I have to sit?”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>In addition, because of its VMMC work, Jhpiego was able to draw on its strong relationship with the Department of Health and the communities it proposed working in for the vaccination program.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“We were already delivering a service, VMMC, and the health department knew they could trust us with vaccination,” said Dr. Cynthia Thandi Ncube, Jhpiego medical officer who helped coordinate the vaccination program with colleague Siyabulela Kwezi Shumi. “It was much easier to set up a vaccination site because of the experience we had from VMMC. We already knew what was needed and could be done.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Jhpiego hired four nurses to run pop-up sites where they would provide COVID vaccinations and prepared for the work through the government’s online training course.

Printed alongside photos of young women with their partners or friends, the imperative is part of a Ministry of Health promotional campaign, led by Jhpiego, to increase demand for and expand access to voluntary medical male circumcision, or VMMC. This one-time procedure reduces the risk of female-to-male HIV transmission by 60 percent.  \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The \u003Ca href=\"https://www.jhpiego.org/countries-we-support/eswatini/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Strengthening of the Kingdom of Eswatini’s Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision under PEPFAR\u003C/a> project (VMMC Project) is funded by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), and closely collaborates with the Ministry of Health and CDC-funded implementing partners, namely URC, Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, Georgetown University, PSI and The Luke Commission. The VMMC Project works with the Ministry of Health to make sure communities, especially young men between the ages of 15 and 29 years old, know about VMMC and have easy access to a health facility if they opt to undergo the procedure.     \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Ca href=\"https://phia.icap.columbia.edu/eswatini-summary-sheet-2021/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Eswatini has a high HIV prevalence rate of 24.8\u003C/a> percent but has made significant progress in meeting their treatment and prevention targets.

New Asset in the Malaria Prevention Toolkit","\n\u003Ch5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jhpiego’s Dr. Chris Morgan on the new malaria vaccines.\u003C/h5>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>As the eagerly awaited malaria vaccine moves from trial to rollout, Jhpiego is using its 20 years of experience in malaria prevention and treatment—from promoting insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs), to supporting seasonal malaria chemoprevention and intermittent preventive treatment of malaria in pregnancy (IPTp), to providing training to health care workers to test for and treat malaria—to support the governments of Burkina Faso, Liberia, and soon, Côte d’Ivoire, in introducing the vaccine.  Jhpiego editor Joan Taylor spoke with Dr. Christopher Morgan, Jhpiego’s technical director for immunization, about the potential impact of the vaccine in saving lives and improving health of the people we serve.  Dr. Morgan is a pediatrician, public health physician and implementation research expert with more than 30 years of experience in immunization and related health areas and a member of the World Health Organization (WHO) Strategic Advisory Group of Expert’s COVID-19 Vaccines Working Group.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the outlook for vaccination against malaria in 2024?\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>In some ways, 2024 will be the most exciting year for vaccinating against malaria as  up to 20 countries start to introduce the vaccine as part of their routine immunization schedule. We’ve been waiting for this since about 2016 when WHO said yes, this vaccine is good for use under demonstration conditions. With over 5 billion doses of RTS,S followed closely without raising safety concerns, earlier demonstrations have shown the vaccine to be safe and effective, so now it’s ready for scale-up.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The other thing that makes 2024 an exciting year is that we expect the second vaccine, the R21/Matrix M, which is produced by the Serum Institute of India, to be qualified, so that perhaps by the end of this year or early next year, it can be added.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>In terms of efficacy, there’s been a 30% reduction in severe malaria needing hospital care, and a 9% reduction in deaths from any cause. Children who die from malaria are often vulnerable because they have malnutrition or because they have malaria plus pneumonia or some other infection at the same time.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"499\" src=\"https://jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/malaria_new_asset_toolkit_2024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2280\" srcset=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/malaria_new_asset_toolkit_2024.jpg 800w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/malaria_new_asset_toolkit_2024-300x187.jpg 300w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/malaria_new_asset_toolkit_2024-768x479.jpg 768w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/malaria_new_asset_toolkit_2024-375x234.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" />\u003C/figure>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Outside of supply, what is the biggest barrier to ensuring that all children who need the vaccine get the full course?\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>More than 28 countries have already expressed interest to Gavi in offering the vaccine, and have the policies in place to permit use of the vaccine and access.  The remaining countries will have to put in place the policy or regulatory environment to permit use of the vaccine and access. Another hurdle is the standard barrier faced by all immunization programs in the low-income settings where malaria is a problem—reaching all families, \u003Ca>because the families with children who are most vulnerable are also the families who struggle the most to access any sort of preventative primary health care.\u003C/a>\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>There’s another barrier specific to the malaria vaccine, which is that it requires four doses, and the third and the fourth doses are needed late in the first year of life and then sometime in the second year of life, ages that fall outside the standard age bracket for all other childhood vaccines. Encouraging families to come for these extra visits will be critical, as well as extra outreach to get those third and fourth doses to children.  \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can the malaria vaccine be integrated with other malaria interventions or health services?\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The malaria vaccine does not replace all other malaria control interventions, such as ITNs, spraying to reduce mosquito populations, or IPTp. Rather, it’s another tool in the toolkit. In Burkina Faso, part of the Ministry of Health’s communications efforts that Jhpiego supports is reinforcing for nurses and families that the vaccine doesn’t mean you should stop all other malaria protective interventions, particularly sleeping under an ITN.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Another integration opportunity is around the fourth dose, which is given in the second year of life. The 15- to 24-month age bracket is a critical time in a child’s growth and development. It’s the last chance you have to prevent a child who is chronically malnourished from becoming stunted and having permanent effects of malnutrition. It’s also a time where if you can intervene in a child’s development, you can stimulate their psychosocial development as well. We are actively working with countries and Ministries of Health to identify opportunities to use that visit between ages 15 and 24 months to not just give the vaccine, but also check on the child’s growth and development and see if there are opportunities to improve.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>This is an opportunity to extend our mutual experience in ensuring reliable supply of preventive therapeutic medicines to reliable supply of vaccines. Working in partnership with national malaria control and immunization programs, we can use our experience in identifying the populations that are most at risk—\u003Cem>micro planning\u003C/em> in immunization jargon—and how they can be reached to the malaria vaccine rollout.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does the malaria vaccine fit into Jhpiego’s strategic priorities for immunization?\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Jhpiego has four strategic priorities. The first is life course vaccination, which refers to vaccinating beyond the first year of life. As I’ve said, with the malaria vaccine, there’s a fourth dose in the second year of life. The second strategic priority is around integrated service delivery. And again, particularly in the second year of life, there’s the chance to integrate the vaccine with growth and nutrition. For all doses of the malaria vaccine, there’s a chance to integrate and at the same time strengthen broader malaria control interventions. It taps into what Jhpiego is doing in our malaria support to Ministries of Health and other aspects of maternal and child health. Our third strategic priority for immunization is around equity—making sure that we’re supporting ministry efforts  to improve not just vaccine coverage in general, but also equitable coverage. The malaria vaccine is a good example of a resource going to areas of greatest need.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Our fourth strategic priority is around innovations. Any time you introduce an innovation, whether it’s a new vaccine, a new device, or a new way of running a program, you have a chance to strengthen the health system overall—the broader public health policy, for example, or the human resources needed for the new vaccine. – If an information system for a new vaccine needs to change, the whole of the health information system should benefit or be improved through that change. That’s the consideration.  And if we have to improve the logistics and supplies for the new vaccine, how can we make sure it’s done in a way that strengthens the whole logistic and supply system?\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https://jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Vaccine-board-in-Burkina-Faso_Malaria_2024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2288\" srcset=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Vaccine-board-in-Burkina-Faso_Malaria_2024.jpg 800w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Vaccine-board-in-Burkina-Faso_Malaria_2024-300x200.jpg 300w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Vaccine-board-in-Burkina-Faso_Malaria_2024-768x512.jpg 768w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Vaccine-board-in-Burkina-Faso_Malaria_2024-375x250.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" />\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Vaccine board in Burkina Faso.\u003C/figcaption>\u003C/figure>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is there anything else unique to this vaccine?\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>There’s a whole other story about vaccines as a global good, and the interaction of Gavi, UNICEF and WHO together with pharmaceutical companies to get innovative products to the countries that need it but can’t afford it much more quickly than used to be the case. Before Gavi, poorer countries were waiting 10 to 20 years longer than richer countries to get new, effective vaccines into their systems. With Gavi in the mix and being clever about market shaping and pricing—buying in bulk and giving manufacturers certainty about future purchases and of the high volume of purchase—we can get these new vaccines to countries much quicker. Without Gavi and UNICEF working together, this would have been a vaccine for travelers for the next 20 years before eventually poorer countries would have been able to introduce it.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cem>Dr. Christopher Morgan is Jhpiego’s Technical Director for Immunization.\u003C/em>\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cem>Joan Caroline Taylor was an Editor in Jhpiego’s

She abandoned her studies and isolated herself from her relatives and family. From being an extrovert and a valued community member, she became a recluse, fearing judgement and disrespect from e community members. This prevented her from seeking antenatal care at the health facility in her neighborhood. “[It’s] a health center I know well,” Nema says, “but because of the shame of being seen pregnant by a stranger, I not only wanted to end my life but also that of my sweet baby.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>In her ninth month of pregnancy, Nema went into labor and began slowly bleeding. She discreetly called for help from a traditional birth attendant. Fortunately, the birth attendant contacted a community health worker who realized that Nema’s life might be threatened by excessive bleeding after delivery, or postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), and took Nema to the neighborhood community health center.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The World Health Organization (WHO) defines PPH as blood loss of 500 mL or more within 24 hours after childbirth. A leading cause of maternal mortality worldwide, PPH affects an estimated 14 million women each year and results in around 70,000 deaths—mostly in low- and middle-income countries. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), 68% of maternal deaths are due to PPH.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>At the health center, Nema received urgent care from providers trained in PPH management, including the WHO-recommended clinical bundle of the \u003Ca href=\"https://www.who.int/news/item/09-05-2023-lifesaving-solution-dramatically-reduces-severe-bleeding-after-childbirth\">E-MOTIVE approach \u003C/a>. WHO recommends that all women giving birth should be offered uterotonics during the third stage of labor to prevent PPH. While oxytocin is recommended as the uterotonic drug of choice, it requires constant refrigeration—which can be challenging in resource-constrained settings with unreliable electricity. The AMPLI-PPHI project aims to reduce maternal mortality and morbidity through the use of quality-assured PPH drugs to prevent PPH at the community level during home births.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The AMPLI-PPHI project trained the community health worker and health facility staff who cared for Nema, and has been supporting 40 facilities and their surrounding communities in Kimpese and Kisantu districts in the DRC. Over 100 providers in the two districts have been trained and monitored by mentors and experts from the DRC’s Ministry of Public Health using training materials updated to align with WHO’s recommendations.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Nema is highly aware of the danger she was in.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cblockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n\u003Cp id=\"block-002df25c-9392-43e8-bc38-31639af37ba6\">“Ignorance kills.

There was no public transport around their remote hut. She was used to the walk, but this pregnancy was taking a bigger toll on her than the earlier two.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Luckily, soon after Saybi’s return, help arrived at her doorstep. She received a visit from Sangeeta Dawar, a type of community health worker (CHW) referred to as an accredited social health activist (ASHA), and Akki Chauhan, a Field Officer with a community-based organization (CBO) called Pahal Jan Sahyog Vikas Sansthan. When Sangeeta and Akki met Saybi during their village rounds, they immediately registered the pregnancy and ensured that she attended a Village Health Sanitation and Nutrition Day at the neighboring child health center. At this event, auxiliary nurse midwife (ANM) Jaywanti Parate checked Saybi’s weight and blood pressure and conducted the necessary blood and urine tests. When Saybi’s tests revealed that she was highly anemic, Jaywanti gave her the required supplements, including iron and calcium. She emphasized the importance of a nutritious diet and asked Saybi to come back for regular follow-up visits.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Sangeeta and Akki knew that they needed to pay special attention to Saybi. Both of them, as well as Jaywanti, had received comprehensive training under the Unitaid-funded project called Accelerating Measurable Progress and Leveraging Investments for Postpartum Hemorrhage Impact (AMPLI-PPHI). The main goal of AMPLI-PPHI is to save women’s lives by preventing severe bleeding after childbirth, also known as postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). The project has aligned its PPH prevention and management strategies with the World Health Organization’s recommendation that every woman receive a uterotonic medicine to prevent PPH.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Saikiran Sambhaji Khandre, Program Officer of the AMPLI-PPHI project in Khargone District, explains the role of CHWs: “Their role is vital at the village level. Right from the time a pregnancy is registered, the ASHA, ANM and CBO partner use certain screening criteria to assess whether the pregnant woman would be likely to deliver at a health care facility or home—criteria include questions like whether any of the earlier deliveries have happened at home, does she live in a very remote area with poor accessibility, whether she has small children at home and no one to take care of them in her absence, etc. The CHWs continually encourage the women to deliver at a health facility. But if they sense that even after completing 35 weeks of pregnancy (end of eight months), a woman has a chance of home delivery, the ASHA visits the woman in her home and provides her with medicine [to prevent PPH].”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The process described by Saikiran is in keeping with the project’s objective to get lifesaving drugs into the hands of pregnant women who need them the most, women like Saybi. The facts that Saybi’s second child was delivered at home and that she lives far from to the nearest health facility made her an ideal candidate to receive PPH prevention medicine.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>In India, the AMPLI-PPHI project is working across 84 health facilities and their neighboring communities in the states of Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. The project has trained approximately 900 health facility staff in PPH management and around 200 CHWs in advance distribution of PPH prevention medicine for self administration.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cblockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n\u003Cblockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n\u003Cp>“We provide thorough training to the CHWs and provide ASHAs with communication tools like flip-books and posters to assist them in accurate messaging. When the ASHA hands over the PPH prevention medicine to the woman in her home, she ensures that it is the entire family that learns its use and takes responsibility to keep it in an accessible, clean place. The ASHA instructs the woman to consume 600 micrograms or three tablets as soon as the baby is delivered, within a minute.”\u003C/p>\n\u003Ccite>Saikiran Sambhaji Khandre\u003C/cite>\u003C/blockquote>\n\u003C/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Saybi and her mother-in-law remembered the instructions well and ensured that she took those three important tablets as soon as the baby was born.

and the World Health Organization Launch Comprehensive HIV PrEP Training Course","\n\u003Cp>Baltimore, MD – Jhpiego, a global health nonprofit and Johns Hopkins University affiliate, in partnership with the World Health Organization (WHO), is proud to announce the launch of a new global HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) training course. This digital training suite is designed to equip health workers with the essential tools and knowledge to deliver the full range of WHO-approved PrEP options, including TDF-based oral PrEP, the dapivirine vaginal ring (DVR), long-acting injectable cabotegravir (CAB-LA), and long-acting Lenacapavir (pending WHO recommendation).\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Building on nearly two decades of leadership in HIV prevention training and in response to the ever-evolving market, this innovative training course integrates information about all available PrEP methods into a single, user-friendly resource that helps health workers respond to the unique needs of their clients in the communities in which they work.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“The true impact of new PrEP options lies in how quickly and effectively these options reach those who need them most,” said Elizabeth Irungu, Regional Technical Advisor for HIV at Jhpiego. “A key driver of this is health workers who are confident, informed, and ready to counsel clients on the full range of choices available. This comprehensive training platform supports this goal, marking a meaningful step toward scaling up PrEP choice and ensuring that people can access prevention options that align with their needs.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Jhpiego first partnered with the WHO in 2016 to introduce a foundational digital course on oral PrEP delivery. In 2023, they expanded this work under the USAID-RISE project with a CAB-LA-specific training toolkit.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>This latest course marks a major milestone, not only integrating all currently available PrEP methods into a single, user-friendly resource, but allowing for flexible implementation through four self-paced digital lessons and a set of complementary classroom-based materials to equip health workers with up-to-date knowledge on all PrEP options, including Lenacapavir. It includes downloadable job aids, adaptable resources for classroom-based training, and a complementary mobile application for access to WHO guidance and interactive clinical tools.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>In addition to this new training toolkit, Jhpiego is leveraging AI to develop an interactive learning tool that is complementary to the course. This tool will give providers access to real-time answers to any questions on PrEP—akin to having a PrEP expert speak to you from your mobile device. This will not only reinforce learning concepts from the course, but will give providers opportunities to access interactive, engaging, multilingual audio-based content. This integration represents a vital step forward in scaling HIV PrEP training, putting timely, trusted knowledge at health workers’ fingertips and a step towards self-care for clients.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>This holistic approach not only enhances the availability of effective PrEP options but also ensures affordability and accessibility for all clients. It will be publicly available and free to access starting July 14, 2025, aligning with the WHO’s updated PrEP recommendations and the anticipated release of new guidance on Lenacapavir.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“Jhpiego is proud to collaborate with the WHO on this vital initiative,” said Leslie Mancuso, President and CEO of Jhpiego. “This training course represents a critical advancement for health systems, equipping health workers with practical, evidence-based solutions that will enhance both access to and quality of care, driving sustainable health outcomes across populations.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Learn more about the toolkit here: \u003Ca href=\"https://new.express.adobe.com/webpage/c1ob5FqyHxfrE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https://www.jhpiego.org/hivpreptoolkit\u003C/a>\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>##\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>About Jhpiego\u003C/strong>\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Jhpiego is a global health nonprofit with more than 50 years of experience innovating to save the lives of women, men, and families around the world.

than ever to eliminating cervical cancer. The World Health Organization affirmed the likelihood that cervical cancer can be eliminated within the lifetime of today’s young girls. But this is not news or even a revelation for Dr. Khunying Kobchitt “Kobbie” Limpaphayom, who has dedicated her life’s work to improving women’s reproductive health, including reducing deaths from cervical cancer, in Thailand and beyond.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>A student of Jhpiego’s founder, the late \u003Ca href=\"https://www.jhpiego.org/about/history-mission/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dr. Theodore M. King of Johns Hopkins University\u003C/a>, Dr. Kobbie spent more than four decades in Thailand’s rural communities testing and treating women to prevent cervical cancer and in classrooms at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok training generations of health workers, including today’s leaders in cervical cancer, to do the same.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Dr. Kobbie has changed the lives of many women and girls and their families. Like most countries, four decades ago Thailand was struggling to prevent, screen and treat cervical cancer. In 2000, Dr. Kobbie, in partnership with Jhpiego, the government of Thailand, the Roi Et Provincial Health Office and the Royal Thai College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, began implementation of the SAFE (\u003Ca href=\"https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(03)12707-9/abstract\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Safety, Acceptability, Feasibility, and program Effort\u003C/a>) study, which used a method called visual inspection of the cervix with acetic acid (VIA). VIA uses diluted acetic acid, the basic component of household vinegar, to detect precancerous lesions on the cervix, which turn white when they react with the acid. If lesions were found, patients could be treated immediately in a single visit approach (SVA) or referred for treatment of advanced lesions.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>This simple, low-cost screening method does not need electricity, sophisticated labs or equipment. But it did need to catch on among rural populations. So, Dr. Kobbie and her team of clinical trainers led the charge training nurses and general practitioners. They also trained public health volunteers and community health workers to engage and mobilize the community to support and encourage women to participate in the screening campaigns and spread the word.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>One of the objectives of the SAFE study was to convince medical and public health policy stakeholders that nurses could perform SVA and meet the four criteria of safety, acceptability, feasibility and effectiveness. “Before the training and awareness campaigns, a lot of people did not believe in the way I used the vinegar,” Dr Kobbie said. “It was very difficult for both the public and the ob-gyn community themselves to accept it.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>However, over time, they did accept and expand SVA. Thanks to a combination of screening methods, including VIA, the incidence rate in Thailand went from \u003Ca href=\"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38528826/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">18.1 per 100,000 women in 2001 to 11.1 by 2018\u003C/a>.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Other governments started to take notice. Dr. Kobbie traveled to Uganda, Laos, Vietnam, Myanmar and several other countries to help implement SVA. The use of this successful approach continued to grow—so much so that, in 2018, the United Nations presented its \u003Ca href=\"https://www.jhpiego.org/news/thai-health-office-receives-un-award-for-cervical-cancer-prevention-services-pioneered-by-johns-hopkins-affiliate-jhpiego/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Public Service Award\u003C/a> to the Provincial Health Office of Roi Et for its integrated approach to comprehensive cervical cancer control, the single visit, screen-and-treat approach. As Dr. Kobbie, who traveled to Morocco to receive the award, said, “\u003Ca href=\"https://www.jhpiego.org/news/thai-health-office-receives-un-award-for-cervical-cancer-prevention-services-pioneered-by-johns-hopkins-affiliate-jhpiego/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The single visit approach helped in giving women easier access to care by bringing care closer to their homes\u003C/a>,”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>At her core, Dr. Kobbie is a realist. She understands that SVA can’t eliminate cervical cancer. Primary prevention—HPV vaccination and promotion of healthy practices—must also be a priority.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>In 2017, the HPV vaccine was introduced into Thailand’s national immunization program for 11- to 12-year-old schoolgirls. But a host of complexities made it hard for people to access the vaccine, especially in Thailand’s rural provinces. Because Thailand is considered an upper-middle-income country, the government must procure vaccines from the open market, rather than rely on heavily subsidized or free vaccines from Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance. And, it’s an age-restricted vaccine, meaning only people who fall within the right age group (females ages 9 to 26 years and males ages 13 to 21) can receive it.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>For cervical cancer rates to continue to decline, the tried-and-true methods that Dr. Kobbie has worked hard to spread cannot be discounted, especially for those out of the vaccine age range.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“By the time we had a usable vaccine, there were so many women with HPV,” says Dr. Kobbie. “Those women will always have that question in their mind about if they already have the HPV strain that causes cancer.

thanks to multiple new biomedical HIV prevention products that are on the horizon. These products include new pre-exposure prophylaxis methods, such as long-acting injectable cabotegravir. With support from the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) through the U.S. Government, the RISE (\u003Ca href=\"https://www.jhpiego.org/our-expertise/hiv-tb/hiv-and-hiv-testing-care-treatment-prevention/rise/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Reaching Impact, Saturation, and Epidemic Control\u003C/a>) project launched a global training resource, the \u003Ca href=\"https://new.express.adobe.com/webpage/LQVlGcviT3W4j?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RISE “Provider training toolkit on use of long-acting cabotegravir (CAB-LA) for HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP)\u003C/a>,” to help ministries of health in PEPFAR-supported countries quickly introduce and scale up this critically important new prevention option.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The toolkit, launched in 2023, contains digital lessons, classroom-based resources for in-person training, and resources and guides for a blended-learning approach for those who wish to use a combination of virtual and in-person instruction. The training is also available for continuing professional development credit through the \u003Ca href=\"https://wcea.education/#:~:text=Deliver%20education%20from%20leading%20providers%20to%20your%20healthcare%20professionals%20and\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">World Continuing Education Alliance\u003C/a>.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Over the past two years, RISE has disseminated the toolkit at conferences, meetings, and, most notably, three regional, intensive training-of-trainers (ToT) workshops. The three regional ToTs (held in Cape Town, South Africa; Lusaka, Zambia; and Gaborone, Botswana) brought together ministries of health and representatives from PEPFAR, U.S. Government, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, U.S. Department of Defense, and implementing partners from 16 African countries. The trainings served as launch pads for more than 120 participants, including 29 Ministry of Health representatives, to become expert CAB-LA trainers and to lead the introduction of CAB-LA and PrEP choice in their home countries.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>In September, RISE was privileged to build on this momentum and shared the CAB-LA training toolkit at the Africa Regional PrEP Learning Network Meeting in Nairobi, Kenya. Hosted by U.S. Government’s \u003Ca href=\"https://www.fhi360.org/projects/maximizing-options-advance-informed-choice-hiv-prevention-mosaic/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MOSAIC\u003C/a> project in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO), the four-day workshop brought together policymakers, implementing partners, civil society representatives, and other stakeholders advancing PrEP choice in Africa. During the workshop, RISE partnered with Ministry of Health representatives from Lesotho and Namibia to co-facilitate a half-day orientation on the CAB-LA training toolkit and to foster discussions and country-to-country sharing on training approaches, curriculum adaptation, and learning.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The facilitators led sessions on CAB-LA basics and research evidence, CAB-LA eligibility assessment, and assessing and managing side effects and adverse reactions. They also leveraged their experience as policymakers and seasoned trainers to share critically important insights from CAB-LA introduction efforts in their region.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>As countries are gaining experience with CAB-LA training and introduction, and as the global HIV prevention community prepares for additional PrEP methods coming to market, including long-acting injectable lenacapavir, RISE is continuing to help foster shared learning and regional leadership to build momentum for PrEP choice in the Africa region. Opportunities like the RISE regional CAB-LA ToTs and the Africa Regional PrEP Learning Network Meeting are helping to disseminate training resources, experiences, and insights from across the region and ensuring that training resources meet the needs of national PrEP programs.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Additionally, RISE is partnering with WHO to develop an updated, comprehensive PrEP training curriculum based on the 2024 provider module for \u003Ca href=\"https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9789240097230\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WHO’s implementation tool for PrEP\u003C/a>. The course is designed to be adaptable to efficiently add new methods as they become available for rapid dissemination of training to PrEP providers globally. The momentum is undeniable. With RISE’s ongoing support, African countries are building \u003Cstrong>resilient health systems\u003C/strong> and offering a \u003Cstrong>wider range of HIV prevention options\u003C/strong>,

A climate migrant, she fled with her husband, child, and mother-in-law, carrying little more than grief. They found shelter with Ayesa’s sister in the overwhelming urban sprawl of Savar, on the outskirts of the capital, Dhaka. Driven by the desperate need to feed her family, Ayesa found work at the Vision Garments Ltd. factory, which makes ready-made garments (RMG). She started as a helper, slowly climbing her way up to sewing operator. Trapped in the daily grind of survival with family members depending on her, caring for her own health felt like an impossible, selfish fantasy.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>Rapid urbanization and its impact on health\u003C/strong>\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Ayesa is not alone. Much of Bangladesh’s economic growth is powered by its ready-made garment industry and its predominantly female workforce. It’s estimated that around \u003Ca href=\"https://www.economicsobservatory.com/whats-happening-in-bangladeshs-garment-industry\">4 million people are employed by the industry\u003C/a>, 80% of whom are women. This workforce is also at the nexus of two of the nation’s most significant challenges: rapid urbanization and climate vulnerability. Bangladesh ranks ninth on the \u003Ca href=\"https://weltrisikobericht.de/worldriskreport/#iLightbox[3eaabc1b8dca4be67ae]/0\">2024 World Risk Index\u003C/a> of countries vulnerable to extreme weather and other climate impacts. It ranks second-highest in flood risk.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>As climate pressures increasingly drive migration from rural areas, urban centers swell. Approximately \u003Ca href=\"https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/article/climate-change-drives-migration-crisis-in-bangladesh-from-dhaka-sundabans\">400,000\u003C/a> low-income migrants, just like Ayesa and her family, arrive in Dhaka every year. Many are forced to settle in densely populated urban slums with poor sanitation and unhygienic living conditions. This rapid urbanization, compounded by gender-based health disparities, often leaves women disconnected from the traditional health systems they once knew and their health needs are often deprioritized due to work, family, and mobility constraints.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>This gap does not just impact individuals; it weakens the entire public health infrastructure, making it less resilient to shocks—from climate disasters to disease epidemics. In this environment, preventable diseases, including life-threatening ones like cervical cancer, can take hold.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>A truly resilient, epidemic-ready primary health care system must therefore be agile, gender-responsive, and meet people where they are.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>Bringing primary health care to factory floors\u003C/strong>\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Recognizing this, Jhpiego, with support from the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and in collaboration with the Government of Bangladesh, pioneered a new model that redefined primary health care in the country. Instead of asking women to leave their jobs and risk their wages to find a distant clinic, the project brought the clinic to the factory floor. By leveraging existing factory medical officers, paramedics, and service providers at Dhaka Medical College Hospital, it embedded life-saving services directly into the workplace.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Some of the services provided included:\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Col class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\u003Cli>Early detection of cervical cancer through screenings to ensure timely interventions.\u003C/li>\n\n\n\n\u003Cli>Comprehensive health education to inform women about sexual and reproductive health and rights and stress the importance of regular check-ups.\u003C/li>\n\n\n\n\u003Cli>Empowerment of female workers by encouraging them to take proactive steps toward their own well-being.\u003C/li>\n\n\n\n\u003Cli>Establishing a robust referral system for follow-up care to ensure those needing further treatment were connected to specialized facilities.\u003C/li>\n\u003C/ol>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"462\" src=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Image-2-1024x462.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7899\" srcset=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Image-2-1024x462.jpg 1024w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Image-2-300x135.jpg 300w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Image-2-768x346.jpg 768w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Image-2-1536x693.jpg 1536w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Image-2-2048x924.jpg 2048w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Image-2-960x433.jpg 960w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Image-2-375x169.jpg 375w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Image-2-1280x577.jpg 1280w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Image-2-1920x866.jpg 1920w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Image-2.jpg 2516w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" />\u003C/figure>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The results from just the first 12 clinics across five garment factories revealed a staggering, unmet need. More than 2,100 women received comprehensive cervical cancer screening services, many for the first time. Screening identified early cervical abnormalities in over 6% of women, enabling immediate, on-site treatment for approximately half of these early lesions and timely referral for further diagnostic evaluation where needed. Follow-up and continuity of care were supported through partner coordination.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>This impact extended beyond the numbers.

This was the case with Kouame.* “At the beginning of October 2022, I started having a fever every night and then a cough and finally I couldn’t breathe well,” said the taxi driver from Koumassi, Cote D’Ivoire. “So, I was sure I had COVID-19.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Kouame sought out medicine to treat his symptoms from a community health worker trained by USAID’s Reaching Impact Saturation and Epidemic Control (RISE) project, Dorcas Kangah.

Since July 2020, community health workers such as Mrs. Dorcas have served as the frontline providers of those services.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Through her professional development and training, Mrs. Dorcas knows that between 36–40% of tuberculosis cases in Cote d’Ivoire occur in people living with HIV, and HIV remains the most important risk factor for the development of tuberculosis. This opportunistic infection is the primary cause of death of people living with HIV in Côte d’Ivoire, as tuberculosis and HIV form a “lethal duo” in which each accelerates the evolution of the other.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>That is why Mrs. Dorcas was so pleased that Kouame followed her advice to seek testing for both.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>At the health center, Mrs. Dorcas used a tuberculosis symptom-screening questionnaire. Based on Kouame’s answers she referred him to the laboratory for sampling and sputum analysis, the results of which confirmed Mrs. Dorcas’ suspicion. Kouame had tuberculosis, not COVID-19. The community counsellor further suggested routine HIV testing, which also came back positive. Kouame was immediately started on anti-tuberculosis treatment and two weeks later he was able to begin antiretroviral treatment for HIV. “After the first two months of treatment, I am breathing well now and my fever is totally gone,” said Kouame. “I thank the staff of the health center, especially my community counsellor with whom I am in contact.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>RISE in Cote d’Ivoire provides counsellors like Mrs. Dorcas with telephones for follow-up of client\u003Cbr>appointments, to confirm clients are getting medication refills and remaining on treatments for both HIV and tuberculosis, and to confirm follow-up assessments. USAID’s RISE project has trained 70 community advisors on HIV prevention, 40 community health workers on HIV. One-hundred twenty-one community counselors have been trained on index testing, and infection prevention. Community counselors are invaluable assets to their communities, providing psychosocial support and championing clients to take charge of their health and that of their families.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https://jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/TB_CDI_CHWs-in-Koumassi-300x225-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4048\"/>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">RISE trains community health workers in Koumassi, Cote D’Ivoire to provide direct care and follow-up to people living with HIV.\u003C/figcaption>\u003C/figure>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The goals of RISE for the year include improving access to and uptake of HIV testing services, and promptly initiating antiretroviral treatment for those who have a positive test result. Aiding clients to remain in HIV care and treatment continues to be a challenge for the country to meet the UNAIDS third 95 goal of viral suppression. RISE-supported providers continue to identify people living with HIV who have tuberculosis, and link them to immediate care utilizing both clinical and non-clinical interventions.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>RISE in Cote d’Ivoire ensures that all people living with HIV who visit a RISE-supported clinic are warmly welcomed with quality care and personalized assistance. All clients are followed by the same community counselor both in the clinic and in the community, creating continuity of care for health visits. In 2023, the results so far from four months of facility-level service delivery include 1,550 people diagnosed with HIV and started on antiretroviral treatment. Since October 2022, RISE is providing advice and expertise in research-based methods for HIV care, with practices for both in-clinic care and community-level outreach to clients. In this way, the expertise of RISE has reached 47,809 people living with HIV in 73 health centers, including 21 tuberculosis centers.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“I feel better since the beginning of treatment. Before I couldn’t even carry a bucket of water to wash myself. But since I started the treatment I am able to wash myself,” said Kouame, who continues to receive follow-up care at the RISE-supported clinic. “I even sent two sick friends who had a cough like mine, but had never visited the Tuberculosis Center.

These issues often result in poor health outcomes and hinder efforts to achieve viral load suppression. The 2018 Côte d’Ivoire Population-based HIV Impact Assessment (CIPHIA) surveillance study found that only 34% of adolescents living with HIV in Côte d’Ivoire had achieved viral load suppression, illustrating the urgent need for targeted interventions.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>In February 2023, Mariame’s life changed when she became a peer educator for the Zvandiri-Like Initiative, a community-based program implemented by the Reaching Impact Saturation and Epidemic Control (RISE) project in Côte d’Ivoire. This initiative helps adolescents and young people on antiretroviral therapy (ART) stay in care and achieve viral suppression by engaging them through structured community follow-up and support groups. With encouragement from Dr. Cyprien Nioblé, Chief of Party for RISE-Côte d’Ivoire, Mariame decided to join the project as a peer educator.  “This boosted my confidence and strengthened my adherence to treatment,” said Mariame who is now 25 and pursuing a Higher National Diploma (BTS) in Human Resources and Communication.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Mariame became the leader of a support group established by the RISE team in collaboration with the HIV focal point at Adjamé General Hospital. She quickly earned the trust of the adolescents and young people in her group and became a key figure in their support network. Her motto: “If this disease must reach others, it will not be through me.” She said, “I have seen many suffer and leave this world because of this disease. My goal today is to help others avoid it.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The RISE team trained Mariame and 14 other mentors on topics such as treatment adherence, stigma and discrimination, disclosure and referring peers to additional services. To facilitate communication, Mariame created a WhatsApp group for adolescents and young people, where they could express themselves freely and receive daily encouragement to adhere to their medication regimen.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Under the mentorship of her supervisor, Nessemon Koné, a nurse and HIV focal person at the Adjamé General Hospital, Mariame and her colleagues have become champions in their work, gaining skills to navigate challenges and improve service delivery to their peers. “This group is a space where I am perceived as both a mother and an advisor,” said Nessemon. She added that Mariame’s involvement has been invaluable, as Mariame is often closer to adolescents and young people than anyone else, enabling them to share things they wouldn’t express directly to others.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The impact of Mariame’s work is reflected in the testimonials of support group members. Niara Sawadogo, a 23-year-old living with HIV said, “Since joining the support group, I feel comfortable with Ms. Mariame. She is like a big sister; she always calls to give me advice and encourages me. When I had issues with my sisters, Mariame was there to help. She listens to me, and it feels good.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Mariame encourages her peers to take control of their health. “My role is to help each one realize that while this disease weakens us, it does not control us. It should not be a hindrance to our development; we must have a brave mentality,” she says.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Her dedication has led to remarkable outcomes. When she first started working with the group in July 2023, only one of 10 adolescents had a completely suppressed viral load. After six months of psychosocial support and encouragement, eight out of the nine others completed their viral suppression, thanks to Mariame’s efforts and the support from the RISE Côte d’Ivoire team.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>RISE provides clinical support to 1,015 adolescents and young people aged 15 to 19 years in the Abidjan 2 region, with 90% (916) achieving viral load suppression. Currently (July 2024) Mariame’s peer cohort of 12 adolescents has achieved a remarkable milestone, with all members (100%) successfully attaining viral suppression.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“I am in constant communication with them,” Mariame says. “I lead the support groups at the hospital and manage the WhatsApp group where we discuss health and safety, including the dangers of sexually transmitted infections. For those without smartphones, I call them to understand their daily challenges and encourage them to take their medications every day.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Ca>\u003C/a>Mariame confides that her involvement in the project not only helps others but also keeps her spirits up. Looking ahead, Mariame dreams of creating a non-governmental organization to support adolescents and children living with HIV, educate those who cannot afford schooling and financially assist those in business. She also aims to raise awareness among healthy young people about the prevention of HIV.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>RISE, a global project funded by the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), works with countries to achieve and maintain HIV epidemic control. In Côte d’Ivoire, RISE implements a clinical and community-based HIV project led by Jhpiego in the Abidjan 2 region. To support viral suppression among adolescents, RISE provides adherence support, home visits, ART delivery, medical appointment reminders and therapeutic education.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>RISE Chief of Party Dr. Cyprien explains, “The adolescent support group is of paramount importance. Adolescence is a time of uncertainty and it’s often when HIV status is disclosed. In this turbulent period, support groups led by peer educators like Mariame are essential for helping adolescents accept their status, adhere to treatment and achieve viral suppression.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>*Mariame is a pseudonym chosen at the request of the peer educator to maintain her privacy.\u003C/p>\n","\u003Cp>A Youth Leader’s Impact on Viral Load Suppression

As the eldest of four siblings, we shared a modest life, yet one built on an unwavering bond. Then, a single encounter changed everything. A look, an approach, and suddenly the unforeseen happened: I became pregnant. At that exact moment, the entire course of my life was altered.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Paralyzed by shame and fleeing the community’s gaze which felt like a public trial, I chose solitude. I only ventured out under the cover of night. This wall of isolation, coupled with the fear of being judged by medical staff, kept me from seeking health care. I avoided community outreach workers, sacrificing my own health and access to essential prenatal services because of the stigma I felt from my parents and feared from others. I found myself alone and vulnerable because society had stripped me of my right to dignity.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Then one day, I heard a message on the radio. A health worker sharing information about the dangers of missing prenatal check-upsand the importance of learning about  life-threatening risks such as  postpartum hemorrhage or severe bleeding after birth that can have deadly consequences, and where to receive important check-ups and tests to ensure both my baby and I were healthy.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Like a powerful wake-up call, those radio spots and songs took over my mind. Those broadcasts weren’t just ads; they were the spark I needed. They turned my hesitation into a firm resolve to protect my future and my baby.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>I went to a nearby health facility. The health workers there were supported by AMPLI-PPHI project [funded by Unitaid and led by Jhpiego in partnership with FIGO and PATH]. Although I had missed the first trimester check-ups, qualified staff performed necessary exams, such as HIV and blood group testing. They administered important vaccinations given during pregnancy such as the Tetanus vaccine, and provided me with essential education on nutrition, birth preparedness, and the early detection of danger signs, transforming my pregnancy into a safe and informed journey. As my due date approached, I felt prepared.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>On the big day, life gave me the greatest gift: a beautiful baby girl.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Soki-Buyana-Cemonde_DRC_2026_Fabrice-Witanday-2-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8827\" srcset=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Soki-Buyana-Cemonde_DRC_2026_Fabrice-Witanday-2-683x1024.jpg 683w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Soki-Buyana-Cemonde_DRC_2026_Fabrice-Witanday-2-200x300.jpg 200w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Soki-Buyana-Cemonde_DRC_2026_Fabrice-Witanday-2-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Soki-Buyana-Cemonde_DRC_2026_Fabrice-Witanday-2-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Soki-Buyana-Cemonde_DRC_2026_Fabrice-Witanday-2-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Soki-Buyana-Cemonde_DRC_2026_Fabrice-Witanday-2-360x540.jpg 360w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Soki-Buyana-Cemonde_DRC_2026_Fabrice-Witanday-2-375x563.jpg 375w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Soki-Buyana-Cemonde_DRC_2026_Fabrice-Witanday-2-960x1440.jpg 960w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Soki-Buyana-Cemonde_DRC_2026_Fabrice-Witanday-2-1280x1920.jpg 1280w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Soki-Buyana-Cemonde_DRC_2026_Fabrice-Witanday-2-1920x2880.jpg 1920w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Soki-Buyana-Cemonde_DRC_2026_Fabrice-Witanday-2-2560x3840.jpg 2560w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Soki-Buyana-Cemonde_DRC_2026_Fabrice-Witanday-2-3840x5760.jpg 3840w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Soki-Buyana-Cemonde_DRC_2026_Fabrice-Witanday-2-rotated.jpg 4640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" />\u003C/figure>\n\u003C/div>\n\n\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Soki-Buyana-Cemonde_DRC_2026_Fabrice-Witanday-6-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8824\" srcset=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Soki-Buyana-Cemonde_DRC_2026_Fabrice-Witanday-6-683x1024.jpg 683w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Soki-Buyana-Cemonde_DRC_2026_Fabrice-Witanday-6-200x300.jpg 200w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Soki-Buyana-Cemonde_DRC_2026_Fabrice-Witanday-6-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Soki-Buyana-Cemonde_DRC_2026_Fabrice-Witanday-6-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Soki-Buyana-Cemonde_DRC_2026_Fabrice-Witanday-6-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Soki-Buyana-Cemonde_DRC_2026_Fabrice-Witanday-6-360x540.jpg 360w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Soki-Buyana-Cemonde_DRC_2026_Fabrice-Witanday-6-375x563.jpg 375w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Soki-Buyana-Cemonde_DRC_2026_Fabrice-Witanday-6-960x1440.jpg 960w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Soki-Buyana-Cemonde_DRC_2026_Fabrice-Witanday-6-1280x1920.jpg 1280w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Soki-Buyana-Cemonde_DRC_2026_Fabrice-Witanday-6-1920x2880.jpg 1920w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Soki-Buyana-Cemonde_DRC_2026_Fabrice-Witanday-6-2560x3840.jpg 2560w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Soki-Buyana-Cemonde_DRC_2026_Fabrice-Witanday-6-3840x5760.jpg 3840w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Soki-Buyana-Cemonde_DRC_2026_Fabrice-Witanday-6-rotated.jpg 4640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" />\u003C/figure>\n\u003C/div>\n\u003C/div>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Immediately after the baby was delivered, I was given an injection which the midwife explained was heat-stable carbetocin to enable my uterus to contract and prevent bleeding. However, that joy nearly turned into tragedy. A few hours after delivery, I began to bleed severely. Instantly, the entire medical team sprang into action. Because my doctor had informed and prepared me, I understood exactly what was happening. They administered life-saving treatment, which I later learned was MOTIVE, a bundle of actions and medications given all at the same time that have been proven to be an effective treatment for postpartum hemorrhage [uterine massage, oxytocic drugs, tranexamic acid, IV fluids, and examination, has been proven to be effective in the treatment of PPH.]\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Thanks to this bundled treatment, the bleeding stopped.

Dubti General Hospital is one of the main medical facilities in the Afar region. During the year-long conflict, health centers in various districts of Afar collapsed, leaving Dubti General Hospital with a huge patient load that was difficult to manage with the available staff.

Through gender transformative activities—a training, mentoring, and experiential learning package of 12 different interventions developed by the Ministry of Health—students receive education, skills, and support to provide competent and confident person-centered care that helps engage clients in their health. With help from HWIP to strengthen gender offices in institutions such as Pharma College, gender transformative activities increased from 28% to 72%. HWIP also helps higher institutions deliver an outcomes-based curriculum, improve teaching effectiveness, strengthen clinical education skills, and focus on gender response approaches while expanding the use of digital learning solutions.  \u003C/p>\n\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-image\">\n\u003Cfigure class=\"aligncenter size-full\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https://jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Story-persistent-pursuit-image-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3796\" srcset=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Story-persistent-pursuit-image-2.jpg 800w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Story-persistent-pursuit-image-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Story-persistent-pursuit-image-2-768x513.jpg 768w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Story-persistent-pursuit-image-2-375x250.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" />\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u003Cem>Students listen intently during class at Pharma College in Hawassa, Ethiopia.\u003C/em>\u003C/figcaption>\u003C/figure>\u003C/div>\n\n\n\u003Cp>Strengthening and sustaining a skilled workforce begins by expanding access to medical education, where women continue to be disadvantaged compared with men, and by promoting gender equity in academic studies. According to USAID\u003Csup>1\u003C/sup>, as girls grow older, school participation becomes increasingly difficult as it takes time away from essential income generating activities. Only 35% of undergraduate university students are female and 5% drop out in the first year. A 2020 baseline report conducted by HWIP revealed gender disparities in student enrollment, graduation, and dropout rates, which disfavored females.  \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>But Albab had an opportunity others did not. Pharma College has a gender club and her classmates encouraged her to join it. The gender club focuses on providing peer-to-peer support, organizing learning sessions and strengthening support systems for students with financial, academic, and social challenges. Topics covered during the sessions include communications, negotiation skills and gender-based violence. At the gender club, Albab met Mela Girma who was trained by Jhpiego on gender transformative activities. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“I remember when Albab joined [the club]. She was quiet and didn’t talk much,” says Mela. “We usually have small group sessions that give everyone an opportunity to talk and build confidence. After some sessions, Albab gained confidence to talk about her academic financial challenges. She had good grades but was worried that she would (have to) drop out of school,” adds Mela. “The gender club here allows young women to have their own space and forum where they can feel seen, heard and equipped with the right information.”  \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Albab applied for a scholarship offered by the campus administration, which she learned about through the gender club. A few weeks later, she learned her application was successful and she received a tuition scholarship for the rest of the coursework. “This scholarship has done so much for me. I can concentrate on my studies and perform well without worrying,” she says. Albab was one of 10 students at the college who received a tuition scholarship through the college fund. In a few months, she will join about 600 students as she graduates as a trained pharmacist.  \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Pharmacy professionals play a key role in health workforce availability and management of priority health conditions such as tuberculosis, maternal and child health and malaria.

RISE also held a workshop in partnership with experts from Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra and Johns Hopkins University to train health workers on the correct use of oxygen for patients; 31 health workers participated. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“PSA plants have done so much to address the shortage in the country,” said Dr. Paa Kobina Forson, RISE Ghana Technical Director. “For instance, the PSA plant at Cape Coast Hospital is now supplying the national ambulance service with oxygen cylinders.” \u003C/p>\n\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-image\">\n\u003Cfigure class=\"aligncenter size-large\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https://jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Story-Short-Supply-of-Oxygen-August-2025-Image-2-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3653\" srcset=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Story-Short-Supply-of-Oxygen-August-2025-Image-2-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Story-Short-Supply-of-Oxygen-August-2025-Image-2-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Story-Short-Supply-of-Oxygen-August-2025-Image-2-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Story-Short-Supply-of-Oxygen-August-2025-Image-2-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Story-Short-Supply-of-Oxygen-August-2025-Image-2-1-810x540.jpg 810w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Story-Short-Supply-of-Oxygen-August-2025-Image-2-1-375x250.jpg 375w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Story-Short-Supply-of-Oxygen-August-2025-Image-2-1-960x640.jpg 960w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Story-Short-Supply-of-Oxygen-August-2025-Image-2-1-1280x853.jpg 1280w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Story-Short-Supply-of-Oxygen-August-2025-Image-2-1-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Story-Short-Supply-of-Oxygen-August-2025-Image-2-1.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" />\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u003Cem>Oxygen supply for patients in the hospital.\u003C/em>\u003C/figcaption>\u003C/figure>\u003C/div>\n\n\n\u003Cp>CCMH was selected because of its location in the populous Central Region, the long distance—142-kilometers—it takes to bring oxygen cylinders from Accra and the availability of existing infrastructure that could be readily updated with oxygen piping. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>With support from USAID’s RISE, the nearly century-old CCMH was able to renovate a dilapidated building on the hospital grounds and return it to service as a COVID-19 ward, ready to treat and isolate patients with the most severe infections. The hospital installed new piping from the PSA plant directly to the beds in the treatment wards.  Additional updates included plumbing, painting and carpentry to make ward rooms more functional and in line with modern medical standards. The CCMH COVID-19 ward successfully treated many patients in the region, Dr. Bonsu said.  \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>While COVID-19 was a shock to the national health system, Dr. Bonsu feels passionately that, “No one should lose sight of the other conditions that patients face. They are equally important.” The hospital routinely sees patients with conditions such as flu, pneumonia and tuberculosis. All of these patients also need oxygen. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“The PSA plant is a godsend for patients and providers,” he said.  “The hospital has an unlimited supply of oxygen now running directly to beds. It is like living in a house with no water, and now we have running water installed. I’m very thankful for the PSA plant.” \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>As the COVID-19 pandemic has evolved in Ghana and infections have fallen off, Dr. Bonsu and CCMH have been able to repurpose half of the COVID-19 ward as a new emergency room for the surrounding community. Now, the PSA plant serves all local patients in critical respiratory distress. Patients who arrive at the emergency ward with strokes, pregnancy complications or newborns in distress can all be treated immediately and without rationing of oxygen resources.  \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Recently, the hospital treated one of their own—a worker from the regional health office. Found unresponsive, the colleague arrived at the CCMH emergency ward in respiratory distress with signs of a heart attack and renal failure. Staff stabilized the man by providing supplementary oxygen. The ability to access emergency care at CCMH, as opposed to traveling to a more distant central hospital, saved this patient’s life. Without the investment of the PSA plant, their colleague would likely have died shortly after his arrival at CCMH, Dr. Bonsu said.  \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The Cape Coast PSA plant is sending oxygen to many parts of the Central Region and beyond. The PSA plant moved oxygen from being a costly resource, where the hospital was forced to buy canisters in Accra and pay to have them transported down the coast, to being essentially free for the hospital. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>In addition, the Cape Coast PSA plant is operating as an independent business entity. The proceeds from several oxygen supply contracts will be used for plant maintenance, which will allow the plant to operate in perpetuity. While identified as a quick solution to meet the needs of the COVID-19 pandemic, this PSA plant is a long-term investment in emergency care for all Ghanaians.  \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cem>Olivia

Under her leadership, the office has strengthened its relationships with the Ministry of Health of Guatemala and key partners, positioning Jhpiego as a leader in health and development.\r\nAmong her most notable achievements is directing the USAID-funded Health and Nutrition Project (PSN), with an investment of $22 million. Under her guidance, 20 quality improvement cycles were implemented in 19 secondary-level hospitals, achieving results such as: increasing postpartum care coverage from 40% to over 90%, improving internal referrals for family planning counseling to nearly 100%, and increasing family planning consultations by 36% through a midwife-led approach.\r\nShe also leads the UNITAID-funded SUCCESS Project, which promotes the use of technology for cervical cancer screening and treatment, especially for women living with HIV. Her work has been key to the nationwide scale-up of HPV testing and the allocation of public budget for its procurement.\r\n\r\nBefore joining Jhpiego, Dr. Garcés led the implementation of 15 maternal and neonatal health research protocols in Guatemala with The Global Network for Women’s and Children’s Health Research, and participated in international studies on nutrition (“Women First”), Zika in pregnancy, prenatal ultrasound, HPV prevalence, and cervical cancer prevention in indigenous communities. As President of the Central America and Panama Nutrition Foundation (FANCAP), she managed a regional grant to strengthen the sustainable HIV response in four countries, aligned with the 95-95-95 targets.\r\n\r\nHer career has been recognized with awards such as the Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Cancer Society, the PRISMA Award, and academic honors from Universidad Rafael Landívar. She also serves as a peer reviewer for scientific publications such as The Lancet, Pediatrics, Journal of Infection and Public Health, PLOS ONE, and BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth.\r\nDr. Garcés earned her medical degree from Universidad de San Carlos de Guatemala and holds a Master’s in Public Health from Universidad Rafael Landívar.

The overall HPV positivity rate was 19%, and only these women needed to come back to their facility to determine if they were eligible for precancerous treatment. Over 80% of women tested negative—they did not have HPV.

In three Jhpiego-supported countries implementing family planning programs—Indonesia, Guinea and Kenya—the creation of data dashboards enabled the teams to analyze data in real time, visualize problem areas and quickly offer solutions to improve postpartum family planning services.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Postpartum family planning services are a set of proven integrated interventions for preventing unintended pregnancies in the postpartum period—the six weeks following childbirth. The provision of high-quality family planning services for postpartum women is recognized by the U.S. Agency for International Development as a \u003Ca href=\"https://fphighimpactpractices.org/high-impact-practices-in-family-planning-list/\">family planning high-impact practice\u003C/a>. Jhpiego, a leader in programming for postpartum family planning in these three countries and others across Africa and Asia, is working to improve access to facility-based postpartum family planning services.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>In Indonesia, a significant decrease in uptake of postpartum family planning was noted in Bogor district and in Ciawi Public Hospital, two areas where Jhpiego provides support. In Guinea’s Kindia region, health centers noted poor maternal health and family planning service data during various monthly data reviews. And in Kenya, problems with inconsistency and low reporting were noted in the many different reporting systems.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>In these three focus countries, virtual dashboards were developed to ensure proper collection and timely analysis of data for use in identifying bottlenecks or problems and in determining corrective action.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-46 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"158\" src=\"https://jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/PPFP-India-From-Data-to-Action.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5637\"/>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Postpartum family planning program dashboards in Indonesia.\u003C/figcaption>\u003C/figure>\n\u003C/div>\n\n\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"270\" src=\"https://jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/PPFP-Guinea-From-Data-To-Action.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5638\"/>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Jhpiego staff work together to develop a dashboard in Guinea.\u003C/figcaption>\u003C/figure>\n\u003C/div>\n\n\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"184\" src=\"https://jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/PPFP-TCI-From-Data-To-Action.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5636\"/>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Challenge Initiative’s dashboard in Kenya\u003C/figcaption>\u003C/figure>\n\u003C/div>\n\u003C/div>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>By analyzing the new postpartum family planning dashboards each month, Jhpiego’s team in Indonesia was able to evaluate trends and produce detailed insights related to services at the health facility level. Parsing through the data with the Ciawi Public Hospital quality improvement team, they saw several reasons why services had decreased. First, it became clear that most postpartum family planning services were not being delivered on holidays and at night. Second, even though several patients had chosen to use family planning, trained health providers who could provide the services were not on duty; and the midwives who were on duty had not received training to provide the required services. In response, the team suggested that all midwives in the hospital be required to be trained on postpartum family planning counselling and postpartum intrauterine devices and implant insertion.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>These data-driven actions have already shown an impact on service uptake in Ciawi Public Hospital. For example, the hospital organized in-house trainings, routine drills and on-the-job trainings. Subsequently, the number of women who received a family planning method of their choice prior to discharge increased from 27 percent in July 2021 to 68 percent in August 2021 and then 73 percent in September 2021.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>In the health centers of Guinea’s Kindia region, dashboards stimulated discussions about the data and possible causes of poor results. Staff then proposed and implemented corrective measures. As these corrective measures improved postpartum family planning uptake, the dashboards reflected the improvements and motivated teams even further. At the Bibane Urban Health Center, for example, the number of new family planning users increased threefold between January–March 2020 and January­–March 2021. This increase continued, and by July–September 2021 had risen fivefold.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>In Kenya, The Challenge Initiative uses the dashboard to monitor, triangulate and visualize family planning project performance. The dashboard brings together data from various sources, such as the health management information system and project data collected through the Open Data Kit app and the Performance Monitoring and Action program. The dashboards provide a platform for monthly data verification to rectify any identified data errors and for making decisions on performance. Both the project and Ministry of Health staff can easily access the dashboards, which facilitate integration and data use during regular performance reviews and management team meetings. Action plans are then developed to address any poor performance areas and to conduct data quality activities. The Challenge Initiative’s reporting rates have improved and are currently above 95%. There has also been significant improvement in the quality of the data submitted as a result of continuous monitoring and review by the project’s implementation teams.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Dashboards are a key tool in Jhpiego programs’ strategies to engage health workers, health facilities, district and regional managers and data managers in making informed, data-driven decisions and taking corrective actions. In so doing, Jhpiego continues to catalyze improvements in consistent, equitable and voluntary postpartum family planning services for all women who access the health system.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cem>Kirole Ruto is a monitoring, evaluation and learning and data manager in Kenya.

Photo by Agusto RH Dominggo Bunga.\u003C/figcaption>\u003C/figure>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Unlike many nurses and midwives, Masri Ndoen’s path to becoming a midwife was anything but expected. Cajoled by her friends to tag along as they took the entry exam for nursing school, Masri decided to take the test herself—and was the only one among her friends to pass it. That paved the way for a career in midwifery that would eventually lead her to a position managing a community health care system.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>As the leader of the Batakte Community Health System, she oversees the delivery of primary health care to around 20,000 Indonesians in the West Kupang subdistrict. Using her almost three decades of experience as a midwife, Masri leads 80-plus primary health care workers—from general practitioners and dentists to midwives and nurses—who work in 54 community-based health posts and outreach centers, including the main community health center, smaller village health centers, one-room maternity huts and integrated service posts that are scattered across the region.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From Village Midwife to Health System Leader\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Masri started her career as a village midwife, attending to pregnant women, mothers and babies, preparing for safe and healthy births and delivering quality postnatal care. Now, she spends her days making sure the 54 community-based health posts and outreach centers that are part of the Batakte Community Health System provide quality health services to all who need them—such as the steady trickle of more than 2,500 clients who visit the Batakte Community Health Center each month (10–15 of whom are women coming to the facility to give birth). Client satisfaction is key for her.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cblockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>The educational background and experiences I have had as a midwife help me understand issues from both sides. It makes me feel like there’s a calling for me to make sure this health center provides satisfactory services to the clients.”\u003C/strong> – Masri Ndoen\u003C/p>\n\u003C/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The Indonesian government is helping her do that. As part of a new focus on strengthening the country’s primary health care services, it has identified two main areas of focus for health centers like Masri’s: facility-based care and community-based care.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Morning Management Is Key\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Masri’s mornings are often dedicated to the community health center. By 7:30 a.m., she’s already started her 20-minute drive to the center to arrive for a daily briefing with her team. Then she checks in on clients and different service providers, hearing about any triumphs or challenges they have experienced. If Masri’s team doesn’t feel supported, their services start to suffer.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\"

When she finally gave birth at 36 weeks, her baby weighed just 1,900 grams, or four pounds. Jhpiego-trained midwives at Alia Hospital, a private maternity facility in South Jakarta, Indonesia, cared for the newborn, following strict infection prevention protocols. The midwives taught Laili to hold the infant skin-to-skin, similarly to how kangaroos hold their babies. Health workers from Indonesia to \u003Ca href=\"https://usaidmomentum.org/expanding-kangaroo-mother-care-to-save-fragile-newborns-in-cote-divoire/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Côte d’Ivoire\u003C/a> are teaching mothers and families to use this simple yet time-tested kangaroo care method to meet babies’ needs for warmth, breastfeeding, infection prevention, stimulation, safety and love. It also helps small and sick newborns gain weight and thrive.  \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Laili’s baby is no exception. One in every four babies globally is born too soon or too small, and every year, 2.4 million newborns die before they are a month old. Eighty percent of these deaths are babies weighing less than 2,500 grams at birth—referred to as low birthweight babies. Sub-Saharan Africa and parts of Asia account for most of these neonatal deaths. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“Though the world has made progress in reducing neonatal mortality, we still have a long way to go. If we want to reach global \u003Ca href=\"https://sdgs.un.org/goals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sustainable Development Goal\u003C/a> targets, we have to focus on small and sick newborn care, and continue pushing for quality essential newborn care, especially in fragile settings,” says pediatrician Dr. Bina Valsangkar, Jhpiego’s Principle Technical Advisor, Maternal Newborn Health, and a fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics. “Two-thirds of small and sick newborns require special inpatient care, but not intensive care, to survive and thrive. \u003Ca href=\"https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9241590351\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kangaroo mother care\u003C/a> is an excellent foundation to build upon because it provides warmth, feeding and infection prevention, all in a nurturing environment,” she says.  \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Dr. Valsangkar asks a critical question in efforts to reduce the unacceptable loss of small and sick newborns: How can we prevent babies from being born too soon or too small? For that, we need to focus on the mother and her pregnancy journey. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"799\" height=\"533\" src=\"https://jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/A-newborn-baby-is-examined-by-a-midwife-at-the-Ashiaman-Polyclinic-Accra-Ghana.-Photo-by-Kate-Holt-Jhpiego.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3644\" srcset=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/A-newborn-baby-is-examined-by-a-midwife-at-the-Ashiaman-Polyclinic-Accra-Ghana.-Photo-by-Kate-Holt-Jhpiego.jpg 799w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/A-newborn-baby-is-examined-by-a-midwife-at-the-Ashiaman-Polyclinic-Accra-Ghana.-Photo-by-Kate-Holt-Jhpiego-300x200.jpg 300w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/A-newborn-baby-is-examined-by-a-midwife-at-the-Ashiaman-Polyclinic-Accra-Ghana.-Photo-by-Kate-Holt-Jhpiego-768x512.jpg 768w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/A-newborn-baby-is-examined-by-a-midwife-at-the-Ashiaman-Polyclinic-Accra-Ghana.-Photo-by-Kate-Holt-Jhpiego-375x250.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 799px) 100vw, 799px\" />\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A newborn baby is examined by a midwife at the Ashiaman Polyclinic, Accra, Ghana.

Throughout Indonesia, complications at birth continue to threaten the lives of women and their babies. The number of maternal and newborn deaths in Indonesia remains unacceptably high and, by some indications, has increased. From 2007 to 2012, for example, Indonesia’s estimated maternal mortality ratio increased from 228 to 359 deaths for every 100,000 births.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>These three women, fortunately, survived pregnancy and childbirth with the help of the Expanding Maternal and Neonatal Survival (EMAS) program that was launched by the government of Indonesia through the support of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). EMAS, a program led by Jhpiego, works across the health system from village center to hospital to strengthen business practices, supervision and oversight of health service providers and the skills of individual midwives.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The EMAS program helps train health workers to recognize and manage complicated labors like those Desi and Hamriani experienced. Twice a month, the midwives and nurses at Hamriani’s health center practice emergency drills to ensure that they’re always confident and ready to take action when the need arises. In fact, the very same day that Hamriani arrived at her health center with pre-eclampsia, midwives there had just completed a skill-building session on addressing pregnancy-related high blood pressure and its impact on mother and child. With skills fresh on their minds, the midwives worked together as a team, each managing a different aspect of Hamriani’s difficult labor. An hour later, she gave birth to a healthy baby.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-image\">\n\u003Cfigure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https://jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/38695872642_efb46819d7_k-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3422\" style=\"width:508px\" srcset=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/38695872642_efb46819d7_k-683x1024.jpg 683w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/38695872642_efb46819d7_k-200x300.jpg 200w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/38695872642_efb46819d7_k-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/38695872642_efb46819d7_k-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/38695872642_efb46819d7_k-360x540.jpg 360w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/38695872642_efb46819d7_k-375x563.jpg 375w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/38695872642_efb46819d7_k-960x1440.jpg 960w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/38695872642_efb46819d7_k-1280x1920.jpg 1280w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/38695872642_efb46819d7_k.jpg 1365w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" />\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">An EMAS-supported emergency text messaging referral system got Desi the help she needed to survive severe bleeding after birth.\u003C/figcaption>\u003C/figure>\u003C/div>\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"has-text-align-left\"> For Desi, even those skills weren’t enough—she needed to be referred to the nearby public hospital.

He was taken into intensive care immediately after birth and stabilized. Midwives showed Restiani how to hold him skin-to-skin to transfer body warmth—an intervention called kangaroo mother care, which has been shown to increase a baby’s weight, prevent hypothermia and create a bond between parents and their newborn. Every day, Restiani swaddled Edgar against her chest. Today, they’re both safe and healthy.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>USAID’s EMAS program works in 30 districts and cities, which include 150 hospitals and 300 health centers, to ensure that pregnant women like Hamriani, Desi and Restiani survive childbirth and deliver healthy babies.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>From encouraging expectant mothers to give birth at a health facility to ensuring that health workers have the skills and confidence to manage complicated births, EMAS is helping build bright futures for mothers, newborns and families across Indonesia.\u003C/p>\n","\u003Cp>Three births.

Specifically, she wanted a combined oral contraceptive that could also help manage her acne. In the past, she might have purchased a family planning product over the counter with little guidance, relying largely on her own judgment.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Instead, she found herself in an extensive phone consultation with Mercy, discussing her reproductive health needs, medical history, lifestyle, and skin concerns.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“We had an extensive consultation and identified a combined oral contraceptive that could work for her and help with her acne,” Mercy said.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>For the lawyer, the consultation was eye-opening.

In urban settings, barriers may be less about distance and more about time, discretion, and convenience.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Jhpiego’s partnership with MYDAWA was designed to address these barriers.

Instead of selecting a contraceptive without understanding which option best suited her circumstances, she received professional advice that addressed both her contraceptive needs and her concerns about acne.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Since 2024, the MYDAWA e-pharmacy platform has reached 8,622 clients across all 47 counties in Kenya and facilitated 4,788 unique digital family planning counseling sessions. Of those who received counseling, about 63 percent were first-time family planning clients, demonstrating the platform’s ability to expand access to reproductive health information and services. The remaining 37 percent used the telehealth platform to continue their current contraceptive method or switch to an alternative option with greater convenience and privacy.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Evidence for Scale\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Early signs from the project suggest strong demand for digital family planning services, particularly among younger and urban populations already accustomed to managing many aspects of their lives online.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“Digital health can play a transformative role in expanding family planning access by making services more accessible, personalized, and client-centered,” said Agnes. “It has the potential to reach underserved populations, reduce barriers to care, and complement—not replace—the public health system.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>For one lawyer in Nairobi, what began as a routine search for skincare products became an introduction to a different kind of health care experience—one in which a simple pop-up advertisement led not just to a purchase but to a conversation, expert guidance, and a family planning choice made with confidence.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cem>Lisa Wagethi Kamau is a Communications Officer for Jhpiego Kenya.\u003C/em>\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cem>Megan Christofield is the Principal Technical Advisor for Family Planning and Reproductive Health at Jhpiego.\u003C/em>\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003C/p>\n","\u003Cp>Jhpiego’s partnership with MYDAWA was designed to address barriers to family planning services.

common among mothers in low- and middle-income countries.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Esther suffered from obstetric fistula, a devastating childbirth injury resulting from the difficult birth of her firstborn when she was 20. Prolonged obstructed labor is often the cause of obstetric fistula, an abnormal opening between a woman’s birth canal and her bladder and/or rectum causing urinary and/or fecal incontinence or both.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“According to the Ministry of Health, 3,000 Kenyan women develop obstetric fistula annually,” said Dr. Daisy Ruto, Jhpiego’s Obstetric Fistula Project Director. “Yet, treatment remains out of reach for many due to limited resources, with only 12 trained surgeons in the country specializing in its repair.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Childbirth, meant to be a joyful moment, instead left Esther’s body broken. The fistula caused her to lose control of her bladder and bowels and her incontinence brought her immense shame. A once devout churchgoer, she avoided social gatherings and mostly stayed indoors due to the pervasive smell of urine.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"807\" src=\"https://jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Esther-Mwikali-Ndii-8-1024x807.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2130\" srcset=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Esther-Mwikali-Ndii-8-1024x807.jpg 1024w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Esther-Mwikali-Ndii-8-300x236.jpg 300w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Esther-Mwikali-Ndii-8-768x605.jpg 768w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Esther-Mwikali-Ndii-8-1536x1210.jpg 1536w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Esther-Mwikali-Ndii-8-685x540.jpg 685w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Esther-Mwikali-Ndii-8-375x296.jpg 375w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Esther-Mwikali-Ndii-8-960x756.jpg 960w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Esther-Mwikali-Ndii-8-1280x1009.jpg 1280w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Esther-Mwikali-Ndii-8-1920x1513.jpg 1920w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Esther-Mwikali-Ndii-8.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" />\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Between 50,000 and 100,000 women are affected by obstetric fistula each year.

But hunger did not bring her peace.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“We bring in nutritionists because most women with fistula are malnourished,” said Dr. Ruto. “They need to be optimized before surgery since some don’t eat well or drink enough fluids to avoid leaking urine and stool.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>A 60-year ordeal ends with hope\u003C/strong>\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Despite her debilitating condition, Esther had three more children (pregnancy after developing a fistula can lead to major complications). Yet stigma followed her like a shadow—affecting her husband and children. “It was very difficult for us as a family. We were ashamed and heartbroken when our mother was openly rejected,” said her youngest son, David Kyalo, now 45.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Over the years, hope flickered and then dimmed. Several visits to hospitals for a diagnosis yielded nothing. The family resigned themselves to the feeling of shame and silence for 60 years.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“We chose to make her comfortable and live her life as best as possible. The family accepted the situation and built a thick skin, though there were moments when it felt utterly unbearable,” David explained, his voice heavy with resignation.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>On May 21, 2024, a new chapter began for Esther—one of hope, dignity, and triumph.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"812\" src=\"https://jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Esther-Mwikali-Ndii-5-1024x812.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2133\" srcset=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Esther-Mwikali-Ndii-5-1024x812.jpg 1024w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Esther-Mwikali-Ndii-5-300x238.jpg 300w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Esther-Mwikali-Ndii-5-768x609.jpg 768w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Esther-Mwikali-Ndii-5-1536x1217.jpg 1536w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Esther-Mwikali-Ndii-5-681x540.jpg 681w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Esther-Mwikali-Ndii-5-375x297.jpg 375w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Esther-Mwikali-Ndii-5-960x761.jpg 960w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Esther-Mwikali-Ndii-5-1280x1014.jpg 1280w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Esther-Mwikali-Ndii-5-1920x1522.jpg 1920w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Esther-Mwikali-Ndii-5.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" />\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Esther’s smile marks the end of isolation—and the beginning of healing.

Jhpiego, through the Obstetric Fistula Project, funded by Johnson & Johnson, was conducting an awareness campaign via SMS messages. The message informed David that there were free fistula screenings at Kilungu Sub-County Hospital, one of 10 fistula screening facilities in Makueni County.

Her Dry Blood Spot sample, which is used to monitor HIV viral load, was initially rejected; a delay that could have cost her life. But through fast-tracked intervention, sample correction, and intensive support, the team acted quickly. She was restarted on treatment, stabilized, and eventually achieved viral suppression. Later, the woman said, \u003Cem>“Your persistence saved my life.”\u003C/em>\u003Cbr>Moments like this, says Annie, remind her why this work is more than a profession—it’s a calling.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Through innovations such as multi-month dispensing, improved appointment reminder systems, differentiated service delivery, and stronger counselling and follow-up, Annie has seen people who were once critically ill regain strength, rebuild families, and find hope again.

Every day, she works to create safe spaces by training health workers and expert clients to offer non-judgmental care, protecting client confidentiality, empowering clients with information, and breaking the misconceptions that continue to silence too many. For her, World AIDS Day is a moment to reflect on lives saved, honor lives lost and recommit to a future where no one is left behind. It is a reminder that HIV is no longer a death sentence—thanks to treatment, support, and the unwavering dedication of healthcare workers like her and her colleagues across.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Her message to people living with HIV is simple: “You are not alone.

than 700,000 young men and adolescents.\u003C/figcaption>\u003C/figure>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>A problem brought John Siliya to the health clinic in his village outside Malawi’s capital of Lilongwe. The pain he felt while urinating was diagnosed as a sexually transmitted infection, not his first. Following John’s treatment, a community mobilizer took the opportunity to discuss with him a safe, effective HIV prevention intervention—voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC)—and its health benefits. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Like many, John, 24, was initially skeptical due to cultural myths and misconceptions. However, driven by a desire to take control of his health, John decided to explore the benefits of VMMC, a one-time procedure that reduces the risk of female-to-male HIV transmission by 60 percent. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“It was not easy for me to agree at first. It took some time. After counselling, I made up my mind to go through it,” said John. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Under the compassionate care of Jhpiego’s dedicated health care professionals, John underwent the VMMC procedure. Beyond the medical aspects, the program emphasized comprehensive counselling, ensuring that individuals like John were equipped with knowledge about sexual health, HIV prevention and overall well-being. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>After the procedure, John returned to his village where he says, “I took it upon myself to advise my friends and family members to get circumcised. I use every opportunity I can to educate them on the benefits of circumcision.” \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>For John, the effect has been transformative. He experienced a newfound sense of confidence, not only in his physical health but also in his relationships and aspirations. The reduced risk of HIV infection empowered him to pursue his goals with vigor, breaking down barriers that once hindered his potential. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>John is just one of the 701,354 adolescent boys and men in 13 districts across Malawi who have undergone VMMC through Jhpiego-supported services. By addressing HIV prevention at a large scale, Jhpiego’s efforts contribute to a significant reduction in the overall burden of the disease. The reduced transmission of HIV not only safeguards the well-being of individuals but also strengthens families and communities. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>As the program continues to expand its reach, the cumulative effect contributes to national public health goals, fostering a generation of individuals equipped with the knowledge and tools to lead healthier lives. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Since 2011, Jhpiego—in partnership with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S. Agency for International Development and the U.S. Department of Defense, under the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, and Malawi’s National AIDS Commission—has been working with the Ministry of Health (MOH), community leaders and other partners to rapidly expand the provision of high-quality, client-centered VMMC services as a core component of comprehensive HIV prevention services. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The government has committed to achieving VMMC coverage of 80 percent among boys and men aged 10–34 years by 2020, the equivalent of approximately 2.1 million circumcisions throughout the country and 1.8 million in priority districts by 2020 (National AIDS Commission 2014). The MOH and its partners have performed 1.4 million procedures; Jhpiego had provided 51 percent of them by June 2023. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"679\" src=\"https://jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Malawi-VMMC_2-1024x679.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3812\" srcset=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Malawi-VMMC_2-1024x679.jpeg 1024w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Malawi-VMMC_2-300x199.jpeg 300w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Malawi-VMMC_2-768x509.jpeg 768w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Malawi-VMMC_2-815x540.jpeg 815w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Malawi-VMMC_2-375x249.jpeg 375w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Malawi-VMMC_2-960x636.jpeg 960w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Malawi-VMMC_2.jpeg 1142w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" />\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">In Malawi, mobile clinics like this one are used to reach clients where they are to ensure that no one is left behind. \u003C/figcaption>\u003C/figure>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The VMMC programs aim to increase coverage of males aged 15 to 29 years in Malawi as part of its strategy to reduce new HIV infections and save lives.

Through a collaboration between Jhpiego and Johns Hopkins Research Project – Blantyre as part of the \u003Ca href=\"https://hcdformnh.jhpiego.org/?_ga=2.250216902.1981109581.1682343483-1248103199.1680641302\">Antenatal/Postnatal Research Collective\u003C/a> (ARC), and in partnership with the Ministry of Health in Malawi, Pauline and two other midwives from the Zingwangwa Health Center joined 41 other midwives at a training on new service delivery technologies to increase continuity of care and improve quality of care. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>ARC collaborated with hundreds of women, their families, providers and community members in Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi and Mali to explore service delivery approaches that provide safe, respectful and valuable experiences for women and their health care providers. In Malawi, ARC designed a study to explore the use of a portable ultrasound device called Butterfly iQ during antenatal care (ANC) services at the health facility and whether midwives could be trained efficiently to use the device.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“This is the most extensive study of feasibility of ultrasound introduction in Malawi to date,” says Dr. Lisa Noguchi, Jhpiego’s Director of Maternal Health. “The study directly addresses WHO’s call for further implementation research on introduction of ultrasound in ANC.” \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The Butterfly iQ study was implemented in partnership with the Malawi Ministry of Health in 2021–2022 and the University of Malawi College of Medicine with funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Now, Pauline can conduct ultrasounds for pregnant women and her work has contributed to more effective collaboration with the local hospital. She is happy she can provide a more positive pregnancy experience for the many women from her area. \u003C/p>\n\u003C/div>\n\u003C/div>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“Our quality of care at this community facility has been enhanced through the provision of ultrasound scanning to all pregnant women that come for the antenatal clinic,” she says. “Ever since I was trained, I have scanned over 100 women and referred those with complications to the referral hospital in good time. It brings so much joy to see the women happy to see their unborn babies and even hear their heartbeat. It’s something they have never experienced before.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>At least 44 midwives from 10 health centers within Blantyre City and surrounding areas were trained to use the Butterfly iQ device by seven medical doctors from the Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital’s obstetrics and gynecology department. Over the course of the study, the health centers conducted 1,500 ultrasounds, and continue to offer them today. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“I’m so happy that all centers managed to do successfully offer ultrasound scans, says Pauline. “[Even after the ARC study] midwives continue to provide ultrasounds to pregnant women in their health centers.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“We are delighted to see that the midwives have made a difference in the lives of over a thousand women in this short time and will continue to do so,” said Fidelis Sindani, Jhpiego’s Monitoring and Evaluation Director in Malawi. “The study has underscored the role of midwives in offering comprehensive, high-quality maternal health services.” Through this work, ARC is also contributing to learning around expanded scope of practice for midwives. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cem>Sarah Sakanda is the knowledge and communication specialist in the Jhpiego Malawi office.\u003C/em>\u003C/p>\n","\u003Cp>In partnership with

But ensuring that every eligible girl is reached, recorded, and protected requires a health system that works for everyone.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Across many countries, HPV vaccination programs rely heavily on schools to provide data. Yet health and education departments often do not coordinate effectively. In addition, paper-based reporting makes tracking vaccinations and following up with patients difficult. The result? Missed doses, incomplete records, and vulnerable girls falling through the cracks.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Historically, Nepal fit that description. Vaccination data were collected primarily through campaign registers and vaccine cards. Although functional, these systems offered limited visibility, delayed follow-up, and made it difficult to reach every eligible girl.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>With approximately 350,000 school-age girls eligible for HPV vaccination, even small gaps in tracking could translate into tens of thousands of missed opportunities.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Missing Link in HPV Vaccination Programs\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The HPV vaccine is highly effective at preventing cervical cancer, but scaling the vaccination—especially among adolescent girls—requires a unique approach. Unlike routine childhood immunization programs, HPV vaccination campaigns depend on education systems as key partners. Schools help identify eligible girls, organize vaccine delivery, and track coverage. However, with paper records, girls who change schools or are out of school can be missed entirely. Health workers then lack reliable ways to track vaccination status, and policymakers have limited access to real-time data for planning.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The solution? Digital immunization systems.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>To address this challenge, Jhpiego, with support from Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, helped establish a technical task team that brought together experts from across government departments. The Ministry of Health and Population (MoHP), the Family Welfare Division (FWD), the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (MoEST), the Center for Education and Human Resource Development (CEHRD), and key development partners—including the World Health Organization and UNICEF—worked together to integrate HPV vaccination data into Nepal’s Integrated Education Management Information System (IEMIS). In February 2026, Nepal operationalized this vision by launching a digital platform within IEMIS that allows schools to record HPV vaccination data directly.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cblockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n\u003Cp>“For the very first time, the education and health sectors are joining hands to digitalize school immunization records, starting with HPV,” said Salina Dangol, MoEST’s IT officer. “This collaboration is a critical step forward.”\u003C/p>\n\u003C/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>This advancement ensures more accurate records, improves coordination between sectors, and supports the long-term vision of a digitally enabled, equitable, and adolescent-centered immunization system. It also strengthens future immunization efforts by positioning schools as key partners in identifying missed and zero-dose children.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Since the rollout in February and March 2026, 287,650 girls in grades 6 through 10 have received the HPV vaccine. Reaching 82 percent of the approximately 350,000 eligible girls represents a significant achievement.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Following orientation sessions, municipal health teams, teachers, school nurses, and school leaders now serve as HPV immunization focal points. They enter, verify, and update vaccination records in real time. Schools have also begun incorporating routine immunization records into student profiles during enrollment, creating longitudinal health records that can support continuity of care.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Provincial leadership is reinforcing this shift. Koshi Province has made it mandatory for schools to collect and digitize immunization data during enrollment, aligning policy with practice under Nepal’s Immunization Act.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jhpiego Nepal’s Broader Digital Health Vision\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>This milestone reflects Jhpiego’s broader commitment to harnessing digital technologies to strengthen Nepal’s health system. Following the successful IEMIS rollout, the platform will also support ongoing tracking and follow-up, helping ensure that all eligible girls receive the HPV vaccine.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Beyond HPV, Jhpiego supports the Government of Nepal in advancing digital solutions across maternal, newborn, and child health. These efforts strengthen data-driven decision-making, improve service quality, and enhance frontline health worker performance. Jhpiego’s approach to digital technology shares a common goal: bridging gaps across policy, service delivery, and community-level outcomes to build stronger health systems that deliver high-quality, timely care for the people of Nepal.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cem>Suresh Shah is Senior Quality Improvement–Measurement and Evaluation Officer for Health Systems Development for Jhpiego in Nepal.\u003C/em>\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cem>Parag Bhamare is the Global Technical Lead for Women’s Cancers at Jhpiego.\u003Cbr>\u003C/em>\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003C/p>\n","\u003Cp>The HPV vaccine is highly effective at preventing cervical cancer, but scaling vaccination requires a unique approach. that depends on both a country’s education and health care systems.

Inside a joint-family compound, excitement spreads quickly. Women gather in the courtyard, adjusting their shawls, bringing their children forward, whispering to one another.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“A lady doctor has come to our home.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Some rush to call other women from nearby houses.

She is a trained medical doctor specializing in obstetrics, gynecology, and public health.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>In official settings, Dr. Shazia often sits across the table from senior government officials for the Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) on behalf of a Jhpiego project that works closely with Pakistan’s provincial government to improve routine immunization outcomes. As a coordinator, Dr. Shazia participates in high-level technical meetings, coordinates with provincial health authorities, and represents Jhpiego in policy discussions.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>But her work does not end in boardrooms.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Much of it happens inside homes, in courtyards, and among families who rarely meet a doctor face-to-face.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Dr.-Shazia-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8553\" srcset=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Dr.-Shazia-6.jpg 1024w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Dr.-Shazia-6-300x225.jpg 300w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Dr.-Shazia-6-768x576.jpg 768w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Dr.-Shazia-6-720x540.jpg 720w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Dr.-Shazia-6-375x281.jpg 375w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Dr.-Shazia-6-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" />\u003C/figure>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Dr. Shazia often serves as the vital connection between community and government. During the COVID-19 vaccine rollout, she served as a provincial quality monitor for a Gavi-funded project for Jhpiego. She regularly visited vaccination centers across Balochistan, monitoring vaccine storage in ice-lined refrigerators, checking expiration dates, ensuring adherence to safety protocols, and supporting vaccinators.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Every evening during the COVID-19 rollout, she shared her observations from the day in the community—whether about vaccine hesitancy or adverse events following immunization—with the provincial EPI team to improve the process.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Today, her focus is shifting toward another important milestone. Balochistan plans to introduce the HPV vaccine for adolescent girls by 2027, and the groundwork is already underway. Dr. Shazia engages health professionals, policymakers, and community leaders to build awareness and support for the vaccine. In addition to speaking about HPV and advocating for its importance, she also engages communities on routine immunization and vaccination.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-75 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Dr.-Shazia-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8554\" srcset=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Dr.-Shazia-5.jpg 768w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Dr.-Shazia-5-225x300.jpg 225w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Dr.-Shazia-5-405x540.jpg 405w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Dr.-Shazia-5-375x500.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" />\u003C/figure>\n\u003C/div>\n\n\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Dr.-Shazia-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8555\" srcset=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Dr.-Shazia-7.jpg 768w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Dr.-Shazia-7-225x300.jpg 225w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Dr.-Shazia-7-405x540.jpg 405w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Dr.-Shazia-7-375x500.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" />\u003C/figure>\n\u003C/div>\n\u003C/div>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Because of her work and her medical practice, Dr. Shazia has become a familiar and trusted figure across the province.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>On this particular day, she came to a neighborhood in Quetta simply to check the immunization status of children.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>One by one, mothers approached her eagerly, holding up their children’s EPI cards for review. These cards are crucial because they record a child’s routine vaccinations from birth to 15 months, protecting them from vaccine-preventable diseases.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“Doctor Sahiba, please check this,” one mother says. “Mine also… look at my child’s card,” another mother adds.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Just a month earlier, this same compound had several children who had missed routine vaccines, especially measles and pentavalent-3, a vaccine that protects young children from five serious diseases, preventing illness and death.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Many families had also misplaced their EPI cards.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Today, the scene is different. As Dr. Shazia flips through the cards, a smile appears on her face. Most of the children have now received their scheduled doses, and some are close to completing their immunization.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>What changed?\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>When she visited last month, many families had not realized how important immunizations were. But after their conversations with Dr. Shazia, they understood. Today they came prepared.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Working in this community requires navigating deeply rooted social norms.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“In this society, patriarchy is strong,” said Dr. Shazia. “But at the same time, cultural respect also opens doors.

Many families know her from her clinical practice, and those interactions often become opportunities to talk about maternal health, child health, and immunization.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The community often assumes she has come to provide treatment.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“They thought I came to run a home-based clinic today,” she said with a smile. “But actually, I came to talk about vaccines.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Community outreach of this kind is usually conducted by social mobilizers or polio workers—people who sometimes face resistance, including community hesitancy, cultural and religious misconceptions, and rumors about vaccine safety. Remote locations, security challenges, and limited resources make reaching children even harder. These barriers affect routine immunization coverage. But a doctor walking into the same neighborhood receives a different welcome. “They invite me into their homes,” Dr. Shazia said. “They offer tea. They spread a mat for me to sit. And while we talk about health, the women also share their everyday concerns.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>In those quiet conversations in courtyards, over tea, trust is built.

Despite the dedication of frontline health workers, many facilities have lacked the systems, structures, and resources to prevent the spread of infections within hospitals. The urgency to act became even more apparent during the COVID-19 pandemic, which exposed how quickly weak IPC systems can lead to larger health crises. From basic hand hygiene to sterilization practices, gaps across the health system put both patients and providers at risk, especially in high-traffic public hospitals. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>With support from The Global Fund, a collaborative team called a common management unit launched a national initiative in Pakistan aimed at improving IPC and establishing a system to monitor health care-associated infections. Of the 100 tertiary care hospitals assigned to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) by The Global Fund for the implementation of IPC level 1 practices, Jhpiego provided technical and implementation support to 10 tertiary care hospitals in Islamabad and Azad Jammu and Kashmir. Under this program, Jhpiego supported the formation of IPC committees and teams at the hospital level and trained health care providers to embed IPC practices into day-to-day operations.  \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>But to truly drive change, health facilities needed something more—a way to measure, track, and sustain improvements over time. So Jhpiego developed an IPC Dashboard. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The IPC Dashboard is a data collection tool that has emerged as a turning point for health facilities across Pakistan. Built during the pilot phase of the program using global assessment tools such as the\u003Ca href=\"https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/WHO-HIS-SDS-2018.9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Infection Prevention and Control Assessment Framework (IPCAF)\u003C/a> and the \u003Ca href=\"https://www.emro.who.int/surveillance-forecasting-response/surveillance-infocus/electronic-assessment-tool.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Observation Tool (IPCAT),\u003C/a> the dashboard enables hospitals to assess their IPC readiness in real time and take evidence-based actions. It collects baseline data from tertiary hospitals and stores it at the National Health Data Centre, creating a single source of truth for IPC performance across provinces and serving as an integral tool to monitor and evaluate the country’s IPC program. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>What makes the dashboard truly transformative is its accessibility and ease of use. Health care staff, even in remote areas of Azad Jammu and Kashmir, can enter data offline using mobile-friendly forms, which automatically sync once internet access is restored. This ensures that no facility is left behind due to connectivity issues. Real-time visualization helps district and national authorities identify gaps and monitor progress. From hand hygiene stations to waste disposal practices, every detail is monitored and logged. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Perhaps the most empowering feature is the Digital Action Point Tracker\u003Cstrong>, \u003C/strong>which enables hospitals to track improvements and follow up on IPC gaps over time. Recommendations are no longer lost in reports—now, they’re tracked, monitored, and closed with accountability. The dashboard also connects to the Human Resource Management Information System (HRMIS) training database, aligning staff development efforts with actual facility needs and promoting smarter resource allocation. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Key features include:  \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\u003Cli>\u003Cstrong>Real-time dashboard and quick reporting\u003C/strong> to empower decision makers to make timely, evidence-based decisions. \u003C/li>\n\n\n\n\u003Cli>\u003Cstrong>Dual data entry modes\u003C/strong> so users can input data with or without internet connectivity. \u003C/li>\n\n\n\n\u003Cli>Offline mode: Mobile-friendly and functional without internet access.

Hospitals are using the dashboard not only to improve internal practices but to spark a culture shift where IPC is seen not as an extra task, but as a core responsibility. For health care workers, this tool has brought clarity, structure, and purpose to their infection control efforts. And for policymakers, it offers the data needed to make real-time decisions that protect lives. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>This pilot is more than a technical milestone—it’s a step toward building a safer, smarter, and more responsive health system for all. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cem>This article was also reviewed by Dr. Hamza Tanveer and Syed Muhammad Akbar Gardezi.\u003C/em> \u003C/p>\n","\u003Cp>Infection prevention and control has always been a critical but often overlooked part of health care in Pakistan.

After vaccination, I have seen the change.” — Sister Colette, Head of Rubungo Health Centre\u003C/p>\n\u003C/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Enough to be scared\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Daniel Sibomana, a 51-year-old father of five in a community just outside of Kigali, Rwanda, knew very little about COVID-19 when it was declared a pandemic. In fact, he didn’t believe in it—until he began to see how ill the virus made some of his friends. He didn’t know much, but he knew enough to be scared.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Living with high blood pressure, Daniel was at higher risk of severe COVID-19. Fortunately for him, people living with such health conditions during the pandemic were a priority for the U.S. Agency for International Development’s Reaching Impact, Saturation, and Epidemic Control (RISE)’s Test-to-Treat program in Kigali. Together with the Government of Rwanda and Rinda Ubuzima, a local nongovernmental organization known for excellent communication and awareness-raising activities, health care providers are reaching people in the community like Daniel who are at higher risk—providing them with COVID-19 education, testing and treatment.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>With the Test-to-Treat strategy, adults who test positive for COVID-19 and are at high risk of severe COVID-19 take antiviral medicine within five days of their first symptoms. Starting treatment early can lessen the severity of illness, keeping older adults and those with conditions such as diabetes, hypertension or HIV out of the hospital.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“The message was very clear, and clarified all the misconceptions I had heard about the virus before. I was among the first individuals to make a decision to be vaccinated when the program started here at Rubungo,” said Daniel at a return visit for COVID-19 testing.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>He added, “I remember upon arrival to the health center to monitor my blood pressure, the community educator provided us with education on COVID-19 protection measures. We were taught why it was important for people with a condition such as mine to get vaccinated, as we were considered to be at high risk.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">RISE in Rwanda\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-image\">\n\u003Cfigure class=\"aligncenter size-full\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"463\" height=\"825\" src=\"https://jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Story-Community-Response-image-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3790\" srcset=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Story-Community-Response-image-1.png 463w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Story-Community-Response-image-1-168x300.png 168w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Story-Community-Response-image-1-303x540.png 303w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Story-Community-Response-image-1-375x668.png 375w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 463px) 100vw, 463px\" />\u003C/figure>\u003C/div>\n\n\n\u003Cp>Across 23 of 30 districts in Rwanda, RISE played a major role in vaccine distribution and acceptance, reaching more than five million Rwandans of all ages through a coordinated outreach effort—contributing to more than 50% of Rwanda’s total vaccination, and surpassing the government’s goal for the first round of a vaccination campaign. The Test-to-Treat program followed these efforts, first introducing oral antivirals as a key strategy to help save lives, then ensuring that tens of thousands of the people most at risk received COVID-19 testing, and enrolling two-thirds of those who tested positive into COVID-19 antiviral treatment to help keep hospitalizations low.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Community partners forge connections\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>To effectively implement the Test-to-Treat program through RISE, Jhpiego Rwanda partnered with Rinda Ubuzima.

They’re getting vaccinated against COVID-19 for free and willingly,” Aline said.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Rinda Ubuzima works closely with Jhpiego experts in Rwanda, along with health facilities and local government authorities. The partnership is critical. Aline and her colleagues work toward sustainable transformation in their communities, while Jhpiego transfers valuable skills and expertise gained from decades of implementing programs against infectious diseases worldwide.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Together with leaders of local health centers like Sister Colette, head nurse at Rubungo Health Centre, they’re ensuring that Rwandan communities have every opportunity to thrive.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“I see how the community is interested to be tested and vaccinated, because they have seen the importance of living free from the constant presence of the disease,” Sister Colette said.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A friendly booster\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Alphonsine is married, with nine children, and has spent more than a decade living with high blood pressure. In 2021, she was vaccinated against COVID-19, and thought nothing more of it.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>But in January 2023, as Alphonsine sat waiting for her monthly appointment at Rubungo Health Centre, she listened to health educators, led by Rinda Ubuzima leaders and health center staff. They explained the importance of being fully vaccinated, including boosters, for people in high-risk groups. She decided to get a booster dose that day.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“I chose to share the knowledge and understanding with my family and my neighbors. There used to be rumors about vaccines, that they were intended to kill people. I talked to my children, who are also talking to their children about getting vaccinated. My whole family is now fully vaccinated,” Alphonsine said.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>With leadership from Rwanda’s Ministry of Health, the RISE partnership is thriving—supporting 15 health centers and nine hospitals across Kigali and beyond. Thanks to Rinda Ubuzima, alongside health centers such as Rubungo and dedicated providers, COVID-19 has lost its tenacious grip on communities and families in Rwanda.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Ca

in terms of immigration—customs to check goods you are coming in with, and immigration to check whether you are eligible to come into the country. Port health services include screening passengers for disease as they enter or leave a country.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cblockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n\u003Cp>“But diseases do not recognize borders, crossing points or points of entry, so border health is not limited to screening, but also includes intensifying surveillance in the border communities and collaborating with neighboring countries on public health functions”. — Ibrahim Seriki\u003C/p>\n\u003C/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>It also includes risk communication, infection prevention and control, laboratory capacity for testing at the point of entry, and vaccination. As the International Health Regulations (IHR) (2005) outline, the point is to prevent the international spread of diseases. [The IHR (2005) is a legally binding agreement among 196 countries that defines how countries should respond to public health emergencies of international concern.]\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>Q: How does health security at land borders differ from health security at airports or seaports?\u003C/strong>\u003C/h5>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>IS: The vast majority of travelers are crossing through the land borders—at both designated [those that meet IHR core capacities] and undesignated ground crossing points—not the airport. Only people who have money can afford to fly. \u003Cstrong>Ground crossing points should get more attention\u003C/strong> when it comes to response. The risk of spread is evident from the Ebola outbreak in 2014/2015. The outbreak started in Guinea and affected all the neighboring countries because the communities are so interconnected, with vast population movement. The majority of people who pass through the crossing points live within the border communities, especially those informal crossing points that are not manned. So it’s necessary to intensify surveillance in the nearby health facilities—and ensure the supply of medical consumables.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>Q: What are the main issues to consider when developing a border security plan?\u003C/strong>\u003C/h5>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>IS: For border health generally, we are governed by the International Health Regulations. At the same time, we try to tailor the response plan to the locally accepted way of doing things. Then, of course, \u003Cstrong>communication is key\u003C/strong>. You need to communicate to travelers why you’re doing this, what are the risks, what diseases are endemic in the visiting country. And there should be community engagement with border communities, because in some places people are crossing without [border] personnel for screening. Community stakeholders can play a role in supporting these unmanned crossing points.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>Q: How do you prepare health workers and officials from different countries to work together and respond to an actual health emergency?\u003C/strong>\u003C/h5>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>IS: You have to maintain collaboration over time. If there’s \u003Cstrong>strong collaboration between countries\u003C/strong>, maybe through a formal agreement and information-sharing mechanism, then there can be a joint response because they’re used to doing things together. We initiated some level of collaboration during a regional tabletop exercise [a desktop simulation of an emergency response, such as a Lassa fever outbreak]. Our colleagues from Liberia and Guinea came to act as observers and evaluators, and we also went to Liberia to do the same. We’ve built some connections. To sustain that connection, we have to continue to do activities together. We’ve had regional meetings, as well, with the four countries in the Mano River Union region (Liberia, Guinea, Sierra Leone and Côte d’Ivoire) and binational meetings with Liberia.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>We need joint cross-country plans, like the one we developed for Sierra Leone and Liberia during one of our cross-border meetings. Prediction and prevention of outbreaks will only be relevant if countries respond as one.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Every outbreak is a lesson\u003C/strong>. After the Ebola outbreak, diverse country coordination has been strengthened. Countries have learned how to mount an effective response to public health emergencies. The COVID-19 pandemic also provided an opportunity for the health security to be strengthened, despite language differences. For instance, Guinea has had recent disease outbreaks (especially viral hemorrhagic fevers) in the region. And they didn’t disappoint. They shared a lot of best practices. That’s the idea of these exercises—simulating a scenario and everybody gets to talk about how they would respond.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>You can never stop preparing. It’s not cheap, but if you prepare very well, it will save you a lot more money if there is a pandemic or outbreak—and not just money, but lives lost. Preparedness helps reduce the money you’re spending when there’s an emergency. That’s why we have partnerships like \u003Ca href=\"https://www.worldbank.org/en/programs/financial-intermediary-fund-for-pandemic-prevention-preparedness-and-response-ppr-fif/overview\">The Pandemic Fund\u003C/a>. The World Bank, Global Fund, everybody now wants to invest in preparedness.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>Q: What other actions are you taking to support border health?\u003C/strong>\u003C/h5>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>IS: Something we are doing uniquely here is \u003Cstrong>population movement mapping in land border\u003C/strong> districts to identify areas with risk of disease transmission. This is a mixed-method study with qualitative focus group discussions and spatial analysis to identify where people frequent, including their point of entry and the reason for the visit. It could be for health care, for religious purposes, for schooling, or for markets. When we identify which areas are visited the most, we plan in terms of what to do if there’s an outbreak in the neighboring country, and make plans to allocate resources accordingly. During preparedness or silent periods, we can recommend that those places be strengthened for surveillance as well as risk communication. You can strengthen surveillance at the health facility. You can strengthen risk communication at the schools, at the market and at religious sites. You can also target the health facility for increased infection prevention supplies because they may be at more risk.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>We are also supporting the Ministry of Health to develop \u003Cstrong>a national border health policy\u003C/strong>. While the public health emergency response plan is meant for emergency settings, the border policy will guide both routine and emergency settings.

Respectful maternity care (RMC) saves lives by creating a welcoming environment during one of the most vulnerable times in the life of a woman or newborn. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The safest place for a woman to deliver and a newborn to be born is at a “functional” health facility, one with adequate staff, essential supplies and high-quality services delivered by a skilled birth attendant. Women are less likely to seek services when they hear about mistreatment at a facility. In settings that offer quality services, health workers provide dignified, respectful care as an essential component of care. They identify, manage and treat health conditions that complicate pregnancy, reduce the risk of poor health outcomes for women and newborns, and reduce rates of maternal and newborn deaths and illness.  \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https://jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Jhpiego-Story-Koki-Agarwal-01-24-2023-04-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3503\" srcset=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Jhpiego-Story-Koki-Agarwal-01-24-2023-04-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Jhpiego-Story-Koki-Agarwal-01-24-2023-04-300x200.jpg 300w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Jhpiego-Story-Koki-Agarwal-01-24-2023-04-768x512.jpg 768w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Jhpiego-Story-Koki-Agarwal-01-24-2023-04-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Jhpiego-Story-Koki-Agarwal-01-24-2023-04-810x540.jpg 810w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Jhpiego-Story-Koki-Agarwal-01-24-2023-04-375x250.jpg 375w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Jhpiego-Story-Koki-Agarwal-01-24-2023-04-960x640.jpg 960w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Jhpiego-Story-Koki-Agarwal-01-24-2023-04-1280x853.jpg 1280w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Jhpiego-Story-Koki-Agarwal-01-24-2023-04-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Jhpiego-Story-Koki-Agarwal-01-24-2023-04.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" />\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u003Cem>Dr Agarwal with Jhpiego’s Sierra Leone in-country team, including Country Director Baindu Kosia (at right).

Today, we carry the RMC banner forward through the Jhpiego-led and U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID)-funded MOMENTUM Country and Global Leadership project as well as other maternal health initiatives.  \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Countries are leading the way on RMC and increasingly adapting and using the global guidance, tools and resources developed by the World Health Organization, USAID, MOMENTUM Country and Global Leadership, and others to make RMC a reality. MOMENTUM Country and Global Leadership is helping countries translate global respectful care policies and evidence-based practices into action by creating awareness about the “must haves” for RMC, and supporting country efforts to incorporate them into their daily practice.  \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>These include engaging the community, providers and local health leaders in a collaborative process to prioritize RMC, and recognizing that strained and under-resourced health systems lead to overworked, underpaid providers who suffer disrespect themselves and experience burnout. Therefore, the lack of RMC is not a provider issue; it is a health system issue.  \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Countries Driving Their Own Success\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>In every country where MOMENTUM Country and Global Leadership works, national and local leaders and health workers are moving RMC forward. Decades after the need for RMC was made real to me in India, I saw the power of local leadership on a visit to Murray Town Health Center in Sierra Leone. This small clinic on the outskirts of Freetown is supported by the project and provides basic health and emergency services to mothers, pregnant women and children from surrounding communities.  \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https://jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Jhpiego-Story-Koki-Agarwal-01-24-2023-05-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3504\" srcset=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Jhpiego-Story-Koki-Agarwal-01-24-2023-05-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Jhpiego-Story-Koki-Agarwal-01-24-2023-05-300x225.jpg 300w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Jhpiego-Story-Koki-Agarwal-01-24-2023-05-768x576.jpg 768w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Jhpiego-Story-Koki-Agarwal-01-24-2023-05-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Jhpiego-Story-Koki-Agarwal-01-24-2023-05-720x540.jpg 720w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Jhpiego-Story-Koki-Agarwal-01-24-2023-05-375x281.jpg 375w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Jhpiego-Story-Koki-Agarwal-01-24-2023-05-960x720.jpg 960w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Jhpiego-Story-Koki-Agarwal-01-24-2023-05-1280x960.jpg 1280w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Jhpiego-Story-Koki-Agarwal-01-24-2023-05-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Jhpiego-Story-Koki-Agarwal-01-24-2023-05.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" />\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u003Cem>Dr Koki Agarwal with nurses and midwives at Murray Town Health Center.\u003C/em>\u003C/figcaption>\u003C/figure>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The nurses and midwives I met were eager to tell me about themselves, their work and their clinic.

They help families manage child nutrition through health education and cooking demonstrations in the communities using locally available food. Through this initiative, CBVs in Zambia have reached approximately 22,032 households.

Bangweulu when Linda Bwembya’s labor pains began. She sought care at the local health center, where she fully expected to give birth as she had with her first child. But a Jhpiego-trained nurse examined Linda and realized the young mother had a potentially life-threatening complication, obstructed labor. The nurse recommended Linda be immediately transported to a larger health facility — a boat ride away. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Scared of what would happen next, Linda agreed to make the journey. While in transit, the boat got lost in a heavy rain and had to anchor for the night. By the time the boat arrived on shore, nearly 24 hours later, Linda and her baby were in distress. Dr. Nicholas Sakala, who met the boat when it arrived, examined Linda, recognized the gravity of the situation, and decided to accompany her to the nearest hospital where she could get a cesarean section. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Dr. Sakala was ready to face the next challenge because of the training and mentorship in emergency obstetric and newborn care he received through the U.S. Agency for International Development-funded Family Health and Nutrition Activity, led by Jhpiego.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>As they waited for an ambulance, Dr. Sakala monitored Linda’s condition. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cblockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n\u003Cp>“I noticed the baby crowning . . . [and] I immediately conducted the delivery on the boat. The [umbilical] cord was around the neck two times and I quickly slipped it over the baby’s head to free the neck. Upon delivery, the baby could not cry. I started neonatal resuscitation and the baby cried.” — Dr. Nicholas Sakala\u003C/p>\n\u003C/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>He then turned his attention to Linda, who was weak and bleeding heavily. Dr. Sakala managed to control the bleeding and prepared mother and baby for the next leg of the journey—a 90-minute ride to Samfya District Hospital. Upon their arrival, nurses examined mom and baby and provided the care they required after their harrowing experience. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Within three days, Linda and baby Isaiah were on their way home.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-image\">\n\u003Cfigure class=\"aligncenter size-full\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"726\" height=\"751\" src=\"https://jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Story-Quality-emergency-image-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3787\" srcset=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Story-Quality-emergency-image-2.png 726w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Story-Quality-emergency-image-2-290x300.png 290w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Story-Quality-emergency-image-2-522x540.png 522w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Story-Quality-emergency-image-2-375x388.png 375w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 726px) 100vw, 726px\" />\u003C/figure>\u003C/div>\n\n\n\u003Cp>Today, Linda and her fisherman husband delight in their healthy and thriving son.

New Tool to Keep Breastfeeding Moms Safe from HIV Infection","\n\u003Cp>A recent article in \u003Cem>The Lancet HIV\u003C/em> describes results of a study on the safety of the dapivirine vaginal ring for preventing HIV in breastfeeding mothers—and consequently protecting their babies, as well. We recently spoke with lead author \u003Ca href=\"https://www.jhpiego.org/blog/authors/lisa-noguchi/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dr. Lisa Noguchi\u003C/a>, Jhpiego’s Director for Maternal and Newborn Health, about the real-life implications of these findings.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is HIV prevention important for breastfeeding mothers and their babies?\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The world has made incredible progress in preventing vertical transmission of HIV—meaning from the mother to her child during pregnancy, labor and delivery, or breastfeeding. Unfortunately, progress has slowed recently. In West and Central Africa, for example, vertical HIV transmission elimination programs probably only reach about half of pregnant or breastfeeding women living with HIV.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>We know from previous research that pregnancy and the postpartum period are critical times for HIV prevention. The chance of acquiring HIV per sex act is probably as much as four times higher for a postpartum woman compared to times when she is not pregnant. We also know that if a postpartum mother gets an acute HIV infection, the chance of passing it to her breastfeeding baby is higher than if she’d acquired an HIV infection prior to her pregnancy.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>So, while oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP)—HIV-negative individuals taking oral medication to reduce their chance of acquiring HIV—is a safe and effective option for many people including breastfeeding women, we need a range of options, because different strategies work for different people.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the current recommendations for breastfeeding?\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The World Health Organization (WHO) universally recommends exclusive breastfeeding (i.e., providing only breast milk as their source of nutrition) for infants younger than 6 months, and continued breastfeeding plus appropriate complementary foods until age 2 years or older. That’s how impactful breastfeeding is in terms of its power to save infant lives and protect them from malnutrition, ear infections, respiratory tract infection, asthma, sudden infant death, obesity, type 1 diabetes, and more. But breastfeeding doesn’t just protect babies—it protects mothers, too. Women who breastfeed have a lower risk of high blood pressure, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, diabetes, and more.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For readers who might not be familiar with the dapivirine ring, can you explain what it is?\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>A dapivirine vaginal ring is a flexible ring, made of silicone elastomer, that contains 25 mg of dapivirine, an antiviral drug. The ring is designed to be inserted in the vagina and replaced monthly. Based on multiple safety and efficacy studies, WHO recommended the ring in 2021 as an additional prevention choice for women at substantial risk of HIV infection.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What did you set out to learn in this study and what did you find?\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Our study, which was a randomized trial, aimed to describe the safety of two different HIV prevention products during breastfeeding. Some women in the study used oral PrEP and some used the ring. We also measured medication levels in mothers and infants. The study was carried out at HIV research sites in Malawi, South Africa, Uganda, and Zimbabwe.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>We found that the dapivirine ring was very well tolerated and safe for breastfeeding moms and their babies. We observed very few significant side effects or health issues in either the ring or the oral PrEP group. While this wasn’t a trial designed to measure effectiveness, it was reassuring that none of the study participants acquired HIV.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Because of this study, we now know that dapivirine levels in breastfeeding infants are very low and infrequent. This and the safety data underscore that a health worker should be able to prescribe the ring for a breastfeeding mom, because it looks very safe for both her and the baby.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the take-home message?\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Since breastfeeding has such powerful benefits, no one living where HIV is common should have to choose between breastfeeding and protecting themselves—and their baby—from HIV infection. They need options! Not everyone can take a PrEP pill every day. Now, the dapivirine ring is one more way that breastfeeding moms can help protect themselves from getting HIV—and give their babies all the benefits of breastfeeding.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"is-style-info\">\u003Cem>Safety and drug quantification of the dapivirine vaginal ring and oral pre-exposure prophylaxis in breastfeeding mother–infant pairs (MTN-043): a phase 3B, open-label, randomised trial\u003C/em> by Lisa Noguchi, PhD; Maxensia Owor, MMed; Nyaradzo M Mgodi, MMed; Brenda Gati Mirembe, MBChB; Sufia Dadabhai, PhD; Elizea Horne, MBChB; et al. was published in the March 2025 issue of The Lancet.

Safe motherhood begins with high-quality maternal health services, which are often challenging to provide in Malawi. Although maternal deaths have been steadily decreasing, there are still \u003Ca href=\"https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SH.STA.MMRT?locations=MW\">349 deaths per 100,000 deliveries\u003C/a> in the country. To ensure a happy and healthy delivery day, the Government of Malawi recommends that pregnant women attend eight antenatal visits at a health facility, in line with World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations. But few pregnant women meet this target, due to a range of barriers to care. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Like Pauline, health workers in Malawi’s Blantyre region struggle to provide comprehensive high-quality care to pregnant women, due to gaps in staffing, skills and equipment. Pauline works at the only government health center in Zingwangwa, Malawi, which serves almost 140,000 people.

And an older man, in for a check-up, receives a thoughtful recommendation on how to manage his high blood pressure. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"635\" src=\"https://jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Staff-members-of-the-Health-and-Wellness-Centre-HWC-at-Mopungchuket_Mokokchung_Nagaland_1-1024x635.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1976\" srcset=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Staff-members-of-the-Health-and-Wellness-Centre-HWC-at-Mopungchuket_Mokokchung_Nagaland_1-1024x635.jpg 1024w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Staff-members-of-the-Health-and-Wellness-Centre-HWC-at-Mopungchuket_Mokokchung_Nagaland_1-300x186.jpg 300w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Staff-members-of-the-Health-and-Wellness-Centre-HWC-at-Mopungchuket_Mokokchung_Nagaland_1-768x476.jpg 768w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Staff-members-of-the-Health-and-Wellness-Centre-HWC-at-Mopungchuket_Mokokchung_Nagaland_1-1536x952.jpg 1536w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Staff-members-of-the-Health-and-Wellness-Centre-HWC-at-Mopungchuket_Mokokchung_Nagaland_1-2048x1270.jpg 2048w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Staff-members-of-the-Health-and-Wellness-Centre-HWC-at-Mopungchuket_Mokokchung_Nagaland_1-871x540.jpg 871w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Staff-members-of-the-Health-and-Wellness-Centre-HWC-at-Mopungchuket_Mokokchung_Nagaland_1-375x233.jpg 375w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Staff-members-of-the-Health-and-Wellness-Centre-HWC-at-Mopungchuket_Mokokchung_Nagaland_1-960x595.jpg 960w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Staff-members-of-the-Health-and-Wellness-Centre-HWC-at-Mopungchuket_Mokokchung_Nagaland_1-1280x794.jpg 1280w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Staff-members-of-the-Health-and-Wellness-Centre-HWC-at-Mopungchuket_Mokokchung_Nagaland_1-1920x1191.jpg 1920w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Staff-members-of-the-Health-and-Wellness-Centre-HWC-at-Mopungchuket_Mokokchung_Nagaland_1-2560x1587.jpg 2560w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Staff-members-of-the-Health-and-Wellness-Centre-HWC-at-Mopungchuket_Mokokchung_Nagaland_1-3840x2381.jpg 3840w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Staff-members-of-the-Health-and-Wellness-Centre-HWC-at-Mopungchuket_Mokokchung_Nagaland_1.jpg 5704w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" />\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u003Cem>Community Health Officer and Nurse Rongsenlila Pongen, center, and her team at the Mopungchuket Health and Wellness Center in Nagaland, India. \u003C/em>\u003C/figcaption>\u003C/figure>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Nagaland, a mountainous and remote region in northeastern India, is where Rongsenlila grew up.

Photo by Agusto RH Dominggo Bunga.\u003C/figcaption>\u003C/figure>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Unlike many nurses and midwives, Masri Ndoen’s path to becoming a midwife was anything but expected. Cajoled by her friends to tag along as they took the entry exam for nursing school, Masri decided to take the test herself—and was the only one among her friends to pass it. That paved the way for a career in midwifery that would eventually lead her to a position managing a community health care system.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>As the leader of the Batakte Community Health System, she oversees the delivery of primary health care to around 20,000 Indonesians in the West Kupang subdistrict. Using her almost three decades of experience as a midwife, Masri leads 80-plus primary health care workers—from general practitioners and dentists to midwives and nurses—who work in 54 community-based health posts and outreach centers, including the main community health center, smaller village health centers, one-room maternity huts and integrated service posts that are scattered across the region.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From Village Midwife to Health System Leader\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Masri started her career as a village midwife, attending to pregnant women, mothers and babies, preparing for safe and healthy births and delivering quality postnatal care. Now, she spends her days making sure the 54 community-based health posts and outreach centers that are part of the Batakte Community Health System provide quality health services to all who need them—such as the steady trickle of more than 2,500 clients who visit the Batakte Community Health Center each month (10–15 of whom are women coming to the facility to give birth). Client satisfaction is key for her.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cblockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>The educational background and experiences I have had as a midwife help me understand issues from both sides. It makes me feel like there’s a calling for me to make sure this health center provides satisfactory services to the clients.”\u003C/strong> – Masri Ndoen\u003C/p>\n\u003C/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The Indonesian government is helping her do that. As part of a new focus on strengthening the country’s primary health care services, it has identified two main areas of focus for health centers like Masri’s: facility-based care and community-based care.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Morning Management Is Key\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Masri’s mornings are often dedicated to the community health center. By 7:30 a.m., she’s already started her 20-minute drive to the center to arrive for a daily briefing with her team. Then she checks in on clients and different service providers, hearing about any triumphs or challenges they have experienced. If Masri’s team doesn’t feel supported, their services start to suffer.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\"

The deployed health workers managed a variety of patient caseloads. Since these health workers arrived, we have observed how the patient flow has increased and cases are managed well. Data from health centers indicate that the patient flow has increased since the deployed health workers began their duties,” says Salhe Luogud, Human Resource Director for Afar Regional Health Bureau, which ensures provision of comprehensive health services for the community in the region. Dubti General Hospital is one of the main medical facilities in the Afar region. During the year-long conflict, health centers in various districts of Afar collapsed, leaving Dubti General Hospital with a huge patient load that was difficult to manage with the available staff. Jhpiego deployed 20 health workers in Dubti Hospital, including doctors, nurses, midwives, anesthetists, pharmacists and laboratory technicians.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-110 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-109 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https://jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Dr.Mohammed-Yesu_Dubti-Hospital-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2970\" srcset=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Dr.Mohammed-Yesu_Dubti-Hospital-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Dr.Mohammed-Yesu_Dubti-Hospital-300x169.jpg 300w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Dr.Mohammed-Yesu_Dubti-Hospital-768x432.jpg 768w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Dr.Mohammed-Yesu_Dubti-Hospital-960x540.jpg 960w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Dr.Mohammed-Yesu_Dubti-Hospital-375x211.jpg 375w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Dr.Mohammed-Yesu_Dubti-Hospital-1280x720.jpg 1280w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Dr.Mohammed-Yesu_Dubti-Hospital.jpg 1327w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" />\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Dr. Mohammed Yesuf is the medical director at Dubti General Hospital.\u003C/figcaption>\u003C/figure>\n\u003C/div>\n\n\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n\u003Cp>Dr. Mohammed Yesuf, the medical director at Dubti General Hospital, said the deployed health workers have made significant contributions in the hospital and community.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“With the shortage of clinical pharmacists and anesthetists in our facility, it was challenging for us to get anyone to fill in these positions.

Safe motherhood begins with high-quality maternal health services, which are often challenging to provide in Malawi. Although maternal deaths have been steadily decreasing, there are still \u003Ca href=\"https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SH.STA.MMRT?locations=MW\">349 deaths per 100,000 deliveries\u003C/a> in the country. To ensure a happy and healthy delivery day, the Government of Malawi recommends that pregnant women attend eight antenatal visits at a health facility, in line with World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations. But few pregnant women meet this target, due to a range of barriers to care. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Like Pauline, health workers in Malawi’s Blantyre region struggle to provide comprehensive high-quality care to pregnant women, due to gaps in staffing, skills and equipment. Pauline works at the only government health center in Zingwangwa, Malawi, which serves almost 140,000 people. Her day at the facility starts as early as 7 a.m., when she is welcomed by a waiting queue of pregnant women. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cblockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n\u003Cp>“\u003Cstrong>Every day, I serve at least 20 pregnant women and we have a minimum of five births.

This made me feel that I was failing the women because we have had a few cases where a woman would die on the way to the referral hospital.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>But Pauline’s feeling that she’s failed these women was about to lessen. Through a collaboration between Jhpiego and Johns Hopkins Research Project – Blantyre as part of the \u003Ca href=\"https://hcdformnh.jhpiego.org/?_ga=2.250216902.1981109581.1682343483-1248103199.1680641302\">Antenatal/Postnatal Research Collective\u003C/a> (ARC), and in partnership with the Ministry of Health in Malawi, Pauline and two other midwives from the Zingwangwa Health Center joined 41 other midwives at a training on new service delivery technologies to increase continuity of care and improve quality of care. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>ARC collaborated with hundreds of women, their families, providers and community members in Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi and Mali to explore service delivery approaches that provide safe, respectful and valuable experiences for women and their health care providers. In Malawi, ARC designed a study to explore the use of a portable ultrasound device called Butterfly iQ during antenatal care (ANC) services at the health facility and whether midwives could be trained efficiently to use the device.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“This is the most extensive study of feasibility of ultrasound introduction in Malawi to date,” says Dr. Lisa Noguchi, Jhpiego’s Director of Maternal Health. “The study directly addresses WHO’s call for further implementation research on introduction of ultrasound in ANC.” \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The Butterfly iQ study was implemented in partnership with the Malawi Ministry of Health in 2021–2022 and the University of Malawi College of Medicine with funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Now, Pauline can conduct ultrasounds for pregnant women and her work has contributed to more effective collaboration with the local hospital. She is happy she can provide a more positive pregnancy experience for the many women from her area. \u003C/p>\n\u003C/div>\n\u003C/div>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“Our quality of care at this community facility has been enhanced through the provision of ultrasound scanning to all pregnant women that come for the antenatal clinic,” she says. “Ever since I was trained, I have scanned over 100 women and referred those with complications to the referral hospital in good time. It brings so much joy to see the women happy to see their unborn babies and even hear their heartbeat. It’s something they have never experienced before.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>At least 44 midwives from 10 health centers within Blantyre City and surrounding areas were trained to use the Butterfly iQ device by seven medical doctors from the Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital’s obstetrics and gynecology department. Over the course of the study, the health centers conducted 1,500 ultrasounds, and continue to offer them today. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“I’m so happy that all centers managed to do successfully offer ultrasound scans, says Pauline. “[Even after the ARC study] midwives continue to provide ultrasounds to pregnant women in their health centers.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“We are delighted to see that the midwives have made a difference in the lives of over a thousand women in this short time and will continue to do so,” said Fidelis Sindani, Jhpiego’s Monitoring and Evaluation Director in Malawi. “The study has underscored the role of midwives in offering comprehensive, high-quality maternal health services.” Through this work, ARC is also contributing to learning around expanded scope of practice for midwives. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cem>Sarah Sakanda is the knowledge and communication specialist in the Jhpiego Malawi

Funded by Olivia Rodrigo’s Fund 4 Good and implemented by Jhpiego Philippines in partnership with the Department of Education (DepEd) Schools Division of Ozamiz City, BRAVE is helping young people build knowledge, confidence, and resilience by equipping them to navigate challenges, make informed decisions, and advocate for their well-being while strengthening the systems that support them.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>At the heart of the initiative is a simple but powerful belief: when young people have access to trusted information, supportive mentors, and opportunities to lead, they are better equipped to make informed decisions about their health and future.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Key to the project is the expansion of school-based teen centers—safe, adolescent-friendly spaces that offer information, counseling, referrals, and peer support. In November 2025, Jhpiego and the DepEd Ozamiz City Schools Division doubled the number of teen centers in the division from five to ten. This expansion followed training for school heads, guidance personnel, and center managers on creating more inclusive school environments.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Located within schools, these centers provide support for young people on adolescent sexual and reproductive health, mental health, gender-based violence prevention, disaster preparedness, and other issues affecting adolescents.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The impact is already visible. Project data indicate a 25 percent reduction in teenage pregnancies in areas served by the teen centers, alongside improved access to health information and stronger connections to available services.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“Building social will starts with creating spaces where young people feel heard, respected, and empowered to make informed decisions about their health,” said Coleen Dolina-Anugon, project officer for sexual and reproductive health at Jhpiego Philippines. “Through BRAVE, we are not only providing information and services but also helping communities recognize adolescents as partners in creating healthier futures.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Students-collaborate-in-groups-to-design-adolescent-friendly-IEC-materials-on-mental-health-ASRH-and-disaster-preparedness.-Photo-by-Geri-Matthew-Carretero-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9245\" srcset=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Students-collaborate-in-groups-to-design-adolescent-friendly-IEC-materials-on-mental-health-ASRH-and-disaster-preparedness.-Photo-by-Geri-Matthew-Carretero-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Students-collaborate-in-groups-to-design-adolescent-friendly-IEC-materials-on-mental-health-ASRH-and-disaster-preparedness.-Photo-by-Geri-Matthew-Carretero-300x225.jpeg 300w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Students-collaborate-in-groups-to-design-adolescent-friendly-IEC-materials-on-mental-health-ASRH-and-disaster-preparedness.-Photo-by-Geri-Matthew-Carretero-768x576.jpeg 768w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Students-collaborate-in-groups-to-design-adolescent-friendly-IEC-materials-on-mental-health-ASRH-and-disaster-preparedness.-Photo-by-Geri-Matthew-Carretero-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Students-collaborate-in-groups-to-design-adolescent-friendly-IEC-materials-on-mental-health-ASRH-and-disaster-preparedness.-Photo-by-Geri-Matthew-Carretero-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Students-collaborate-in-groups-to-design-adolescent-friendly-IEC-materials-on-mental-health-ASRH-and-disaster-preparedness.-Photo-by-Geri-Matthew-Carretero-720x540.jpeg 720w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Students-collaborate-in-groups-to-design-adolescent-friendly-IEC-materials-on-mental-health-ASRH-and-disaster-preparedness.-Photo-by-Geri-Matthew-Carretero-375x281.jpeg 375w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Students-collaborate-in-groups-to-design-adolescent-friendly-IEC-materials-on-mental-health-ASRH-and-disaster-preparedness.-Photo-by-Geri-Matthew-Carretero-960x720.jpeg 960w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Students-collaborate-in-groups-to-design-adolescent-friendly-IEC-materials-on-mental-health-ASRH-and-disaster-preparedness.-Photo-by-Geri-Matthew-Carretero-1280x960.jpeg 1280w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Students-collaborate-in-groups-to-design-adolescent-friendly-IEC-materials-on-mental-health-ASRH-and-disaster-preparedness.-Photo-by-Geri-Matthew-Carretero-1920x1440.jpeg 1920w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Students-collaborate-in-groups-to-design-adolescent-friendly-IEC-materials-on-mental-health-ASRH-and-disaster-preparedness.-Photo-by-Geri-Matthew-Carretero-2560x1920.jpeg 2560w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Students-collaborate-in-groups-to-design-adolescent-friendly-IEC-materials-on-mental-health-ASRH-and-disaster-preparedness.-Photo-by-Geri-Matthew-Carretero-3840x2880.jpeg 3840w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Students-collaborate-in-groups-to-design-adolescent-friendly-IEC-materials-on-mental-health-ASRH-and-disaster-preparedness.-Photo-by-Geri-Matthew-Carretero.jpeg 4032w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" />\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Students collaborate in groups to design adolescent-friendly IEC materials on mental health, ASRH, and disaster preparedness.

It Forward: Erica’s Transformation Through Jhpiego’s Youth-Centered Approach in Mozambique","\n\u003Cp>When Erica Joaquim Cuamba* was diagnosed with HIV at age 21, fear, shame, and silence quickly took over her life. At the time, she was in high school. Her attendance began to decline. She hid her condition from her family and avoided any situation that would remind her of HIV. Although she was surrounded by people, she felt completely alone.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Everything changed when Erica visited her aunt’s home in Mocuba, in Zambezia Province. Her aunt, who was breastfeeding, was receiving a home visit from a Mentor Mother affiliated with the local military health unit. As part of a peer-support network supported by Jhpiego, Mentor Mothers work with pregnant and breastfeeding women living with HIV, providing counseling and helping them stay connected to treatment and clinical follow-up.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>During the visit, the Mentor Mother spoke privately with Erica’s aunt about HIV treatment and self-acceptance. Erica’s aunt invited her to join the conversation, never imagining that she had a secret to share. What caught Erica’s attention was not just the message but the way it was conveyed: calmly, compassionately, and without judgment. For the first time, Erica saw HIV being addressed with dignity. The Mentor Mother shared her own experience of living with HIV. Her words touched Erica deeply. It was in this warm and welcoming atmosphere that Erica revealed her condition to her aunt and the Mentor Mother.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"535\" src=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Erica-Mozambique-Quote-1024x535.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8975\" srcset=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Erica-Mozambique-Quote-1024x535.jpg 1024w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Erica-Mozambique-Quote-300x157.jpg 300w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Erica-Mozambique-Quote-768x401.jpg 768w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Erica-Mozambique-Quote-960x502.jpg 960w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Erica-Mozambique-Quote-375x196.jpg 375w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Erica-Mozambique-Quote.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" />\u003C/figure>\n\n\n\n\u003Cblockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n\u003Cp>\u003C/p>\n\u003C/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>That moment marked the beginning of Erica’s transformation. Her Mentor Mother helped connect Erica with the health clinic, referring her to adolescent- and youth-friendly services, where she met Youth Mentors and other groups of young people living with HIV.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>With them, Erica learned more about treatment, prevention, and self-care.

Rachel acknowledges that she and others like her were also unaware of ways to prevent sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“I didn’t know anything about family planning and sexually transmitted diseases.

She also encouraged Rachel to join an adolescent sexual reproductive health (ASRH) service program known as Power to Girls. Rachel agreed. In the program, she met a group of young women her age and began attending sessions on family planning, gender-based violence and other health-related topics. Today, 1,891 young women like Rachel are a part of the ASRH services program in the Kiteto district.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Catherine credits a lot of her knowledge and expertise in providing ASRH services to the training she received from the Afya Yangu – Mama na Mtotoproject, which is led by Jhpiego. \u003Cem>Afya yangu mama na mtoto\u003C/em> is a Swahili translation that means: my health, mother and child.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“Before the project, reproductive health services were not available anywhere in our district. We had little understanding of how to attend to and manage adolescents’ cases,” says Catherine. “I have been equipped with adequate skills to provide comprehensive counseling on family planning, sexually transmitted diseases including HIV, gender-based violence and teen pregnancy—all of which posed huge risks for girls and young women in this region from reaching their full potential and realizing their dreams,” she says. “The Power to Girlsapproach … has improved my skills on adolescent issues and how to offer counseling to young people in a way that is acceptable, friendly and professional.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Catherine is one of 16 health care providers trained by the project, which has contributed to a 2% reduction in teenage pregnancies in Kiteto district (January–March 2023 to January–March 2024).\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"866\" height=\"532\" src=\"https://jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Tanzania_FrankKimaro_2024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4980\" srcset=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Tanzania_FrankKimaro_2024.png 866w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Tanzania_FrankKimaro_2024-300x184.png 300w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Tanzania_FrankKimaro_2024-768x472.png 768w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Tanzania_FrankKimaro_2024-375x230.png 375w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 866px) 100vw, 866px\" />\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Catherine Shayo (in white) poses with Rachel Daudi (in red) and other girls visiting the hospital for ASRH services.

As a member of the Wrong Girls, Diana teamed up with other adolescents to roam their community, causing havoc. There were countless fights, she says now. Some involved machetes. People got hurt. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“I was living a dangerous life,” the 22-year-old admits. “Indeed, it was very risky. I could not even listen to anyone, including my family.” \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>But the DREAMS project offered Diana another path: education on sexual and reproductive health, ways to avoid an unwanted pregnancy and services for gender-based violence (GBV) survivors. Through DREAMS, this Wrong Girl saw how she could get right with herself and the world. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Diana took account of herself, acknowledged the negative impact of her previous actions, and recognized that she could write a different ending to her story, one she could be proud of.

Shy and fearful, Alana felt the pressure of being overweight and the false suggestion that she was older and unmarried. This led her to transactional sex, risking her health and enduring abuse from some clients. Alana was unaware of her HIV status because she knew nothing about HIV or sexually transmitted infections. That all changed when she was introduced to the DREAMS initiative. She enrolled in DREAMS classes and gained a profound understanding of HIV. She decided to be tested; the result was negative.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cblockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n\u003Cp>“I now have the ability to plan for my life and future. As a strong and determined DREAMS participant, I have become independent and accountable for my actions. I now confidently visit health facilities for HIV testing, and, thanks to the HIV prevention program, I have acquired so much prevention literacy that I am able to make informed decisions. I am also now educating other young girls in my community about HIV and those in risky relationships to be initiated on PrEP [pre-exposure prophylaxis].” -Alana John Musa\u003C/p>\n\u003C/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Alana’s next goal is to enroll in a liquid soap-making training.
