Jhpiego is a nonprofit global leader in the creation and delivery of 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. Informed by scientific discovery, technical know-how and best practices, Jhpiego translates decades of experience into moments of care that mean the difference between life and death: the moment a woman gives birth, the moment a midwife helps a newborn to breathe, the moment a nurse screens for cervical cancer with a simple vinegar swab, the moment a community health worker tests a man for HIV and reports that he is virus-free. We are committed to supporting countries in their journey to self-reliance, and building healthy families and resilient communities.

Antenatal and Postnatal Care Research Collective
The Antenatal and Postnatal Care Research Collective (ARC) brings together grant partners of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to conduct high-quality, collaborative research to improve antenatal/intrapartum/postnatal care (ANC/IPC/PNC). Currently, coverage rates of ANC/PNC are low, particularly among vulnerable populations (e.g., lower wealth quintile, rural regions). Designed as a four-year initiative (2020–2023), the overall goal of the collective is to: identify and study new ANC/IPC/PNC service delivery approaches;test effectiveness of new tools;and ensure coordinated, robust data collection, analysis, and sharing.
Opportunities and Challenges of Delivering Postabortion and Postpartum Family Planning During the COVID-19 Pandemic
