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.

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.

class=\"wp-element-caption\">Farm2vet learning about pig production.\u003C/figcaption>\u003C/figure>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>A pig stops eating outside Hanoi. The farmer has a dozen pigs and no idea what is wrong. The nearest vet is a long drive away and charges a fee that she would rather not pay. So, she does what her neighbors do—she buys antibiotics from the pharmacy down the road and gives a preventive dose to the whole pen, sick and healthy alike.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The trouble is, it works. At least, it works well enough in the short term that nobody senses the longer-term harm. Across Vietnam and several places around the world, millions of decisions like this are made every day, silently feeding the beast of AMR.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>AMR is a major global health threat. In 2021, an \u003Ca href=\"https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(24)01867-1/fulltext\">estimated 4.7 million deaths were associated with AMR globally\u003C/a>. Antibiotic misuse and overuse drive the development and spread of drug-resistant pathogens, making infections difficult to treat and increasing the risk of disease spread, severe illness, disability, and death. Drug-resistant infections can spread from animals to people through contact, food, or the environment if animals carry microbes that are resistant to antibiotics.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Eighty-nine percent of Vietnamese farmers work in small family holdings. The small country, with only about 1.2% of the world’s population, ranks eleventh globally for antibiotic consumption. Livestock health in these backyard pens rarely appears in national statistics, making it easy to miss an outbreak until it spreads.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A PERSONAL EXPERIENCE INSPIRED A PROFESSOR TO TAKE ON AMR IN VIETNAM\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Professor Helen Nguyen has been mindful of AMR for over 20 years, though her interest did not start with animal farms.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>An environmental engineering professor at the University of Illinois for almost two decades, she was born and raised in Vietnam and became interested in infectious disease through a nonacademic route.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>It was when her son was born three months premature and Nguyen had to spend three months beside an incubator, watching him “fighting for his life.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“I literally Googled the (main) cause of infant death,” she says. “And it popped up. It is actually enteric infections. I decided on that day that I was going to work on that.” Enteric infections are gastrointestinal illnesses caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites that spread through contaminated food or water.\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/2026/10/learning-from-vet-pharmacists-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10099\" srcset=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/learning-from-vet-pharmacists-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/learning-from-vet-pharmacists-300x225.jpg 300w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/learning-from-vet-pharmacists-768x576.jpg 768w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/learning-from-vet-pharmacists-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/learning-from-vet-pharmacists-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/learning-from-vet-pharmacists-720x540.jpg 720w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/learning-from-vet-pharmacists-375x281.jpg 375w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/learning-from-vet-pharmacists-960x720.jpg 960w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/learning-from-vet-pharmacists-1280x960.jpg 1280w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/learning-from-vet-pharmacists-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/learning-from-vet-pharmacists-2560x1920.jpg 2560w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/learning-from-vet-pharmacists-3840x2880.jpg 3840w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/learning-from-vet-pharmacists.jpg 4032w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" />\u003C/figure>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Two decades on, Nguyen can point to progress against viral and bacterial infections but cannot vouch for the same with AMR. “AMR is one of the problems we have made no progress whatsoever for the last few decades,” she says. “That shows me that what we have been doing is not enough, and we need to go to the root cause of the problem.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>That root cause, she concluded after returning to Vietnam post-COVID, is disease moving through livestock, spreading because farmers lack biosecurity knowledge and the country lacks enough veterinarians. Antibiotics, she feels, are the symptoms. Fear, money, and distance are the disease.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">GLOBAL AMBITION, LOCAL INSIGHT, COLLECTIVE ACTION\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>As Nguyen searched for a way to tackle the problem at its roots, The Trinity Challenge was looking for innovative ways to tackle AMR.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The Trinity Challenge is a small British charity with a huge impact. Founded amid COVID-19 under Dame Sally Davies, former Chief Medical Officer for England and Global AMR Advocate, the charity is small but ambitious and has committed over £11 million across 26 countries since 2021.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“The Trinity Challenge is a testimony to Dame Sally Davies’ leadership in the global health space,” says Lars Hartenstein, Director of Healthy Longevity at the McKinsey Health Institute and Partner with McKinsey & Co., which served as one of the founding members and helped build the first challenge. “It’s a particular kind of cross-sectoral ownership as opposed to something owned by a big grant giver,” he says. Associated with this charity from its very start, he says the first sign of The Trinity Challenge’s success was the number of applications it received, remembering how “it was global immediately.” The Challenge received 340 applications from 60 countries.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/working-with-users-HCMCAug25a-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10101\" srcset=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/working-with-users-HCMCAug25a-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/working-with-users-HCMCAug25a-300x169.jpg 300w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/working-with-users-HCMCAug25a-768x432.jpg 768w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/working-with-users-HCMCAug25a-960x540.jpg 960w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/working-with-users-HCMCAug25a-375x211.jpg 375w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/working-with-users-HCMCAug25a.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" />\u003C/figure>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Getting the Challenge question right is critical to its success. “It takes a village,” says Trinity Challenge Chief Operations Officer (COO) Louise Gough, describing the intense process. A hypothesis goes to experts with local as well as global knowledge, who “pull it apart, stress test it. Will this work in low-and middle-income countries?” The Challenge ensures that prize recipients live or work in regions with the greatest needs.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Divleen Jeji, Clinical Specialist at Google for Health and Co-Chair of the Judging Panel, sat in on one of those sessions and calls it “a very participatory process.” Speaking of the 20-member judging panel, with people from as diverse backgrounds as infectious disease clinicians and cloud computing experts, she says, “The solutions the Challenge funds are executed by diverse consortia. Therefore, it is very important to have experts with diverse experience to provide an unbiased opinion on whether someone’s going to go ahead or not.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FROM 285 APPLICATIONS TO ONE GRAND PRIZE WINNER\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>When the AMR Challenge launched in 2024, Nguyen assembled colleagues from VinUniversity and the Vietnam University of Agriculture and applied.

Noel Shaskan, Program Lead, Health, at MIT Solve, explains the rigorous process the applications go through to find the winner. After an initial screening by MIT Solve, a volunteer review group shortlists the applications; then 20 judges score and rescore and hold live interviews with the shortlisted candidates. “We really try to focus on the meat of the application and not the decoration,” says Shaskan.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Farm2Vet, an initiative led by Professor Helen Nguyen to tackle the critical threat of antibiotic overuse in livestock farming in Vietnam, won the £1 million grand prize in 2024.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE CHECK?\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Many other grantors stop at funding. As Shaskan puts it, they usually identify the team, give the funding, and that marks the end of the relationship. That is where, she says, The Trinity Challenge becomes unique.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Jhpiego is a partner with The Trinity Challenge and delivers strategic support, monitors awards, and helps post-award acceleration for the Challenge winners. “It’s not a matter of just cutting a check and walking away,” said Joanne Peter, Jhpiego’s Director of the Innovations Hub. What follows is bespoke support, including three years of check-ins, coaching, a strategic advisory board, an innovative showcase, and access to the rich Trinity Challenge ecosystem.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>For Farm2Vet, that support proved as valuable as the funding itself.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“The key contribution of The Trinity Challenge is allowing us to get everyone to work together to solve the problem,” says Nguyen. This included scientists, veterinarians, app developers, and, most importantly, livestock farmers themselves.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">AMR IS NOTHING IF NOT LOCAL\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Working with the consortium at the hyper-local level transformed the idea. They started by building an AI vet. When they took it to the farmers, they realized the farmers wanted something else.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“They could talk about their difficulties,” Nguyen says, “but they liked to talk a lot more about their success.” They did not want textbook advice, but local successes from people like them. So, the team built one-minute lessons scripted from real farmers’ good practices, in the form of audio, video, cartoons, and even TikTok. Then, while trying to collect data, they found that farmers had no way to record anything, so they built a voice-input notebook to feed data back to the model.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"478\" src=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/VirtualVet2-1024x478.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10102\" srcset=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/VirtualVet2-1024x478.jpg 1024w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/VirtualVet2-300x140.jpg 300w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/VirtualVet2-768x359.jpg 768w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/VirtualVet2-1536x717.jpg 1536w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/VirtualVet2-2048x956.jpg 2048w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/VirtualVet2-960x448.jpg 960w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/VirtualVet2-375x175.jpg 375w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/VirtualVet2-1280x598.jpg 1280w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/VirtualVet2-1920x896.jpg 1920w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/VirtualVet2.jpg 2560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" />\u003C/figure>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“At the beginning, our idea was an AI-driven virtual assistant,” she says. “But we’ve learned it actually has to be a human-driven, AI-assisted intelligence system. Because if humans don’t drive this thing, it’s not going to work.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The frontier models are powerful, she notes, but they hold no hyper-local data, and AMR is nothing if not local.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Eighteen months in, with support from Jhpiego, the Farm2Vet team has now formed a social enterprise as a limited liability company to anchor long-term sustainability. After building the self-learning AI platform that translates field data into hyper-local veterinary guidance for livestock keepers, the team has expanded field validation from 30 to around 100 frontline users and earned recognition as a case study in a World Economic Forum report on AMR in Asia.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A CATALYZER FOR SUSTAINABLE CHANGE\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Gough sums up the ethos of The Trinity Challenge in what she feels best describes it. “We’re a catalyzer,” she says. “We’re not the ones that deliver on the ground, but we can bring the right people, the funding, the networks, and the opportunity together to help solve pervasive health challenges.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Ask her what success looks like, and she talks about stories that change lives, rich data where none existed before, and winners securing follow-on funding to sustain and scale their innovations.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Back in Hanoi, Nguyen believes winning The Trinity Challenge gave Farm2Vet the footing it needed to work beyond Hanoi and toward a viable model that can reach farmers across Vietnam.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“With infectious disease, no one is safe until everyone is safe.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Her ambition is simple: The next time a pig goes off its feed on a small farm outside Hanoi, the farmer will not have to guess.
