She will assume the role on April 1, 2026.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Bear joins Jhpiego with 25 years of experience in the global health sector, most recently serving as founder and CEO of the Baltimore-based public health consultancy Vennhealth. Throughout her career, she has led strategic and evaluative initiatives that have shaped major global health programs and investments. 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. In addition, she led the evaluation of the $3.5 billion Feed the Future nutrition portfolio, providing evidence that informed its Congressional reauthorization.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">“The throughline of Allyson’s professional trajectory has been a profound commitment to alleviating human suffering and promoting human dignity and health for all—a background that aligns deeply with Jhpiego’s longstanding mission to provide access to lifesaving health care where it is needed most,” said Johns Hopkins University President Ron Daniels in an email to the Johns Hopkins University community. “She brings a proven track record in strategic growth, innovation, and resource mobilization across the global health, economic development, and humanitarian sectors.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Bear began her career focused on global market shaping and scale-up efforts, starting with Gavi’s PneumoADIP and Hib Initiative, where she provided technical assistance to Ministries of Health for vaccine rollout and impact evaluations. From 2009 to 2015, she worked at USAID, leading the development of flagship U.S. Government health initiatives. 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 class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">“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 class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Bear will succeed Dr. Leslie Mancuso, who has led Jhpiego since 2001 and announced her planned retirement in 2024. Under Dr. Mancuso’s leadership, Jhpiego has evolved from an organization with four core programs focused on family planning and cervical cancer prevention into one of the world’s most respected global health entities, now operating in 39 countries.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To learn more about Dr. Bear, \u003Cstrong>\u003Ca href=\"https://hub.jhu.edu/2026/03/17/allyson-bear-named-jhpiego-president-ceo/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https://hub.jhu.edu/2026/03/17/allyson-bear-named-jhpiego-president-ceo/\">read the Johns Hopkins University Hub article here.\u003C/a>\u003C/strong>\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u003C/p>\n","\u003Cp>Johns Hopkins University has announced that Dr. Allyson Bear will be Jhpiego’s next president and CEO.

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I first learned about Dr. Abhay Bang a dozen years ago, when I moved to Uttar Pradesh, India, to work on rural newborn health programs. I had just finished training in pediatrics in a tertiary academic hospital in Washington, D.C., so I had a lot to learn about rural newborn health in developing countries. \u003Ca href=\"https://www.nature.com/articles/7211276\">Dr. Bang’s seminal papers were my compass\u003C/a>.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prior to Dr. Bang’s research, which he started in the 1990s, global health specialists didn’t give much thought to small and sick newborns born in rural villages—the prevailing assumption was they needed high-cost intensive care units to survive. Instead, they focused on lower-hanging fruit like vaccinations. Dr. Bang challenged this assumption. He showed that with home-based newborn care—providing support for breastfeeding, thermal care, infection detection and appropriate treatment with antibiotics—you could indeed save newborn lives. A lot of them. He lived the experience of the community, the women and families, he chose to serve.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https://jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Jhpiego-Blog-India-06-10-2024-02-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3476\" srcset=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Jhpiego-Blog-India-06-10-2024-02-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Jhpiego-Blog-India-06-10-2024-02-300x200.jpg 300w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Jhpiego-Blog-India-06-10-2024-02-768x512.jpg 768w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Jhpiego-Blog-India-06-10-2024-02-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Jhpiego-Blog-India-06-10-2024-02-810x540.jpg 810w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Jhpiego-Blog-India-06-10-2024-02-375x250.jpg 375w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Jhpiego-Blog-India-06-10-2024-02-960x640.jpg 960w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Jhpiego-Blog-India-06-10-2024-02-1280x853.jpg 1280w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Jhpiego-Blog-India-06-10-2024-02-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Jhpiego-Blog-India-06-10-2024-02.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" />\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u003Cem>Dr. Abhay Bang’s work with indigenous people in Maharashtra influenced the care of newborns in the community and saved lives.\u003C/em>\u003C/figcaption>\u003C/figure>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A problem solver\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When my family planned a trip to India this year for a family reunion, I decided it was time to meet the man who changed the way the world thinks about dying newborns. The 13-hour drive from my parent’s hometown in Pune, India, on the west side of Maharashtra State, to Dr. Bang’s home in Gadchiroli, on the east side, might deter the most steadfast. But I knew in my heart that I would be missing out on an important experience and professional lesson if I didn’t go.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Abhay Bang grew up in the late Mahatma Gandhi’s ashram. His father was an economics professor and part of Gandhi’s “Quit India Movement,” which called for an end to British rule. His mother was the principal at the school Dr. Bang attended, where students primarily learned through doing and living, rather than traditional classroom methods.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After his training, Dr. Bang forwent invitations from big institutions in Delhi. He chose instead to move to rural Gadchiroli, to immerse himself in the problems he was trying to solve and to “go to the villages of India,” as Gandhi had once instructed his followers, including Dr. Bang’s father.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"770\" src=\"https://jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Jhpiego-Blog-India-06-10-2024-03.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3477\" srcset=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Jhpiego-Blog-India-06-10-2024-03.jpg 580w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Jhpiego-Blog-India-06-10-2024-03-226x300.jpg 226w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Jhpiego-Blog-India-06-10-2024-03-407x540.jpg 407w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Jhpiego-Blog-India-06-10-2024-03-375x498.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" />\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u003Cem>Dr. Bina Valsangkar with Dr. Abhay Bang: a once in a lifetime visit.\u003C/em>\u003C/figcaption>\u003C/figure>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Home-based newborn care\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a rich culture and tradition quite different from the rest of India, indigenous populations have historically been marginalized and denied basic rights. Even when a government hospital might be within reach, indigenous villagers tend not to go. Having lived in the community, Dr. Bang understood why.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He built a hospital where doctors did not wear white coats (the villagers wrap their dead in white). He built a temple at the entrance (they believe god is the primary healer, not doctors). He built the hospital as a series of thatched-roof huts that resembled a hamlet (to accommodate multi-generational family members, who typically care for the sick). And because the cultural practice of confinement prevented women who had recently given birth from seeking care, Dr. Bang brought the care to them via home-based newborn care. Dr. Bang and others conducted studies to determine if low birth weight and preterm babies could be cared for at home by their mother and a trained village health worker. The result was a \u003Ca href=\"https://doi.org/10.1038/sj.jp.7211276\">62% drop in the newborn mortality rate\u003C/a> in intervention villages, compared to control villages.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ground-breaking work relevant today\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> As newborn mortality rates declined worldwide, thanks in part to Dr. Bang’s ground-breaking work, global health specialists’ attention turned to health centers and hospitals to achieve further mortality reductions for newborns. It might be tempting to think Dr. Bang’s community approaches were no longer relevant, but I discovered during my visit that this is far from the truth.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The British finally left India in 1947, leaving behind a colonial health system that had all but extirpated India’s indigenous populations’ methods of health and healing. India has recently made great strides in the provision of health services in rural areas. But the study of medicine and public health in India remains rooted in principles and standards of the Global North, creating practitioners and systems that are ill-prepared to address the health of indigenous populations, which comprise nearly 9% of India’s population and have some of the poorest health outcomes in the country.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I went to Gadchiroli, I was excited to meet the grandfather of newborn health. But as our conversation progressed, I realized what made Gadchiroli and Dr. Bang special wasn’t necessarily what he did for newborns. It was his general approach to health and health care in vulnerable, indigenous communities—mothers and babies included. Dr. Bang showed us what potential can be unlocked with deep understanding and respect for the ethnography, psychology and history of vulnerable populations. He has since successfully applied his inclusive methods to other areas of health, including orthopedics, reproductive health and non-communicable diseases.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During my visit, it became clear that the magic of Gadchiroli has been the call to “go to the villages”—in whatever form that may take. It is a call that has saved countless newborn lives and helped many of India’s most vulnerable live with better health and dignity.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u003Cem>Dr. Bina Valsangkar is Jhpiego’s Principal Technical Advisor Maternal Newborn Health.\u003C/em>\u003C/p>\n","\u003Cp>Dr. Abhay Bang transformed newborn survival in rural India by bringing culturally respectful, home-based care to marginalized communities.

And the care navigators are just a call away if we face any issue with the instruments or the ANMOL app. Plus, if we find ourselves running out of some drugs or consumables, the care navigator helps us procure those immediately. This helps us focus on our work and provide quality services to expectant mothers. Because of this, we are being able to detect more high-risk pregnancies and that too, in early trimesters.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So far, Patel and the other iWIN care navigators have successfully guided over 20,000 high-risk pregnant women in Madhya Pradesh, ensuring the management of 91% of pregnancy-induced hypertension cases, 65% of gestational diabetes cases, and 79% of anemia cases. Through the care navigators’ supportive supervision of ANMs during the health days, the availability and functionality of equipment have increased from 69% to 86%, availability and sufficiency of resources have risen from 71% to 87%, and key practices have improved from 70% to 80%.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The success of the care navigation model has prompted other projects in women’s cancer to adopt this approach to ensure the continuum of care from screening to confirmatory diagnosis to treatment and follow up as per the diagnosis. In Madhya Pradesh, this role has influenced the scope of work of existing block-level community mentors who now also provide supportive supervision to ANMs and help navigate high-risk pregnant women.\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/2025/03/53437764996_cb838179bf_k-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1390\" srcset=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/53437764996_cb838179bf_k-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/53437764996_cb838179bf_k-300x200.jpg 300w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/53437764996_cb838179bf_k-768x512.jpg 768w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/53437764996_cb838179bf_k-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/53437764996_cb838179bf_k-810x540.jpg 810w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/53437764996_cb838179bf_k-375x250.jpg 375w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/53437764996_cb838179bf_k-960x640.jpg 960w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/53437764996_cb838179bf_k-1280x853.jpg 1280w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/53437764996_cb838179bf_k-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/53437764996_cb838179bf_k.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" />\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">ANM Lakshmi Sharma uses the Anmol Sakhi bundle including the Bluetooth-enabled BP machine, fetal heart monitor and hemoglobinometer to enter accurate data into the online application on her tablet.\u003C/figcaption>\u003C/figure>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nek Narayan Patel knows his work is of utmost significance: “Very often in this community, pregnant women neglect their health because of lack of awareness. Anemia is a big issue. And of course, poverty.” Pointing to the women lined up at the Baroda Hada village day care center for the monthly health/wellness days, he says, “If these women were asked to go all the way to the community health center in Patan for their antenatal checkups, more than half of them would not go. I help ensure that VHNDs are as effective as possible as this is the closest and most convenient for women to visit. I help identify and manage high-risk pregnancies on time. I alert ANMs on birth preparedness and complication readiness. Like right now, one of the pregnant women who has come for ANC has low weight. So, she is at high risk. Her mid-upper arm circumference will confirm that she might be malnourished.” As he dashes off to speak to this woman and the ANM, he says, “We will ensure she learns about nutrition. We will alert the accredited social health activist (ASHA) to keep a special check on her and ensure she is eating nutritious food. We will be specially vigilant about her weight gain.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u003Cem>Ambadas Suresh Adhav is a physician, and program manager in technology and operations, working in Jhpiego India’s maternal health programming.

deserves, through Group ANC.\u003C/h4>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are 100 million births a year in low- and middle-income countries. That means that every day, there are millions of pregnant women who need care to have a healthy pregnancy. When asked about what kind of care they want during pregnancy, women are clear. They want to survive childbirth and have a healthy baby who also survives. For women in many of the places we work, survival is not a guarantee. They also want personalized, supportive and respectful care from kind and caring health care providers, and opportunities to bond with other pregnant women for support.  \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the simplest but most remarkable ways we’ve found to fulfill pregnant women’s needs is providing care in groups—we call it \u003Ca href=\"https://www.ganccollaborative.com/mission-2\">Group Antenatal Care (G-ANC).\u003C/a> It’s women-centered care, provided in a group with pregnant women at the same stage of pregnancy. What’s even more remarkable is that many women and providers, from conflict-affected Afghanistan to populous villages across Nigeria and the highlands of Guatemala, all love G-ANC. They love learning together, forming friendships, taking better care of themselves, and helping each other have a healthy pregnancy. The results are women come back for more care, they learn more, and have a positive pregnancy experience. Providers also enjoy G-ANC. They get to know their patients and have the time to discuss important topics and answer questions.  \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since 2021, we have been working with local governments in Nigeria and Kenya to expand G-ANC into hundreds of health facilities. But the pace is not fast enough. We need exponential expansion. So we started asking, “\u003Cem>If G-ANC is better care, why isn’t it available to all pregnant women? How can we accelerate scale-up?\u003C/em> \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In February 2024, we were thrilled to organize the first-ever Global Group ANC “Catalyzer” event in Nairobi, Kenya to try and answer these questions. We gathered with 125 researchers, government officials, public health professionals, and women’s health champions from 24 countries and spent three days together to prioritize ways to collaborate and accelerate change.  \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There was ample evidence and great enthusiasm for G-ANC, but it was surprising how many countries have not been able to make G-ANC widely available. Expansion has been limited by the lack of national policies, political commitment, and funding. At the Catalyzer, small groups worked to plan how best to accelerate scale-up, based on their experiences. Here are the priority actions that are needed: \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\u003Cli>\u003Cstrong>Updating global policy\u003C/strong> so the World Health Organization includes G-ANC as a recommendation and governments adopt it into national policies;  \u003C/li>\n\n\n\n\u003Cli>\u003Cstrong>Prioritizing research\u003C/strong> to fill evidence gaps to learn more about how G-ANC meets adolescents’ needs or works in the private sector;\u003C/li>\n\n\n\n\u003Cli>\u003Cstrong>Increasing awareness\u003C/strong> and generating interest in G-ANC by disseminating the evidence and implementation resources on G-ANC in all low- and middle-income countries at the national and sub-national levels;  \u003C/li>\n\n\n\n\u003Cli>\u003Cstrong>Advocating\u003C/strong> for governments and donors to secure the political commitment and resources for G-ANC implementation at scale;   \u003C/li>\n\n\n\n\u003Cli>\u003Cstrong>Strengthening coordination and collaboration\u003C/strong> at the global and national levels to jointly plan for scale-up and share learning;\u003C/li>\n\n\n\n\u003Cli>\u003Cstrong>Extending group care beyond birth for mothers and babies\u003C/strong>, which holds great potential to improve maternal, newborn and child health in the first two years of life, but requires more research and learning in low- and middle-income countries.\u003C/li>\n\u003C/ul>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This month as the United States celebrates Mother’s Day, we continue to work with global partners, local champions and stakeholders to make G-ANC available to all pregnant women.  Let’s work together so every mother can have the pregnancy experience she wants and deserves, through G-ANC. \u003C/p>\n","\u003Cp>Group

Foundation Recognizes Jhpiego Nurses","\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">May 9, 2024 (Baltimore, MD) – Six nurses at Jhpiego were honored with The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses® this week in recognition of the compassionate care they provide to women and their families.  Rosemary Njogu from Kenya, Elizabeth Kalunga from Zambia, Dora Lopez from Guatemala, Khotsofalang Komeke from Lesotho, Francois Biziyaremye from Rwanda, and Savita Garg Shukla from India received the award from the DAISY Foundation as part of its mission to acknowledge the exceptional work of nurses around the world.   \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u003Ca href=\"http://www.daisyfoundation.org/\">The DAISY Foundation\u003C/a> is a nonprofit organization established in memory of J. Patrick Barnes by his family. Patrick died at the age of 33 from complications of the auto-immune disease Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (DAISY is an acronym for Diseases Attacking the Immune System). The care Patrick and his family received from nurses while he was ill inspired this unique means of thanking nurses for making a profound difference in the lives of clients, patients and patient families.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">“These unsung heroes are seldom recognized for the super-human, extraordinary, compassionate work they do,” said Bonnie Barnes, FAAN, co-founder of the foundation. “The kind of work the nurses at [hospital] are called on to do every day epitomizes the purpose of The DAISY Award.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u003Ca href=\"http://www.jhpiego.org\">Jhpiego is a global health nonprofit\u003C/a> with more than 50 years of experience supporting high-quality health care in all corners of the world. The organization creates and delivers transformative health care solutions that save lives. In partnership with national governments, health experts and local communities, Jhpiego builds health providers’ skills and develops systems that save lives now and guarantee healthier futures for women and their families.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">“As a nurse myself, I know how much dedication and compassion nurses and midwives have for the people they care for,” said Dr. Leslie Mancuso, Jhpiego’s President and CEO. “I’m thrilled these six recipients have received The DAISY Award in recognition of their hard work. Their accomplishments are outstanding and their commitment to Jhpiego’s work and the nursing profession deserves our praise.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nurses at Jhpiego were nominated for The DAISY Award through an internal process and winners were chosen by a committee of Jhpiego experts. Each honoree receives a certificate commending her or him as an “Extraordinary Nurse” along with a sculpture of a mother and child, called A Healer’s Touch, hand-carved by artists of the Shona Tribe in Zimbabwe.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">“With the close of the pandemic, the work of global public health nurses and nurse-midwives has faded from view,” said Pandora Hardtman, Jhpiego’s Chief Nursing and Midwifery Officer. “This award is a way to bring their amazing work back into the light while also contributing to the engagement of a healthier work environment and sense of community across the countries that Jhpiego impacts.”\u003C/p>\n","\u003Cp>May 9, 2024 (Baltimore, MD) – Six nurses at Jhpiego were honored with The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses®
