Resilient and Person-Centered Responses to Infectious Diseases

JSI is a leader in responding to global infectious diseases with technical expertise from more than 300 projects in over 73 countries. From long-term priorities including HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria to emerging pandemic threats including the coronavirus and Ebola, we design, implement, evaluate, integrate, and strengthen highly effective public health programs. Along with supporting countries and civil society to reduce and eliminate health care disparities, JSI reinforces local health systems’ capacity to prevent, identify, and treat disease; prevent, prepare for, and respond to outbreaks; and strengthen and expand high-quality primary care and community health programs. This not only strengthens global health security agendas, it also improves quality of care and health outcomes for people around the world, advancing the fundamental right to health care.

We partner with ministries of health, civil society organizations, the private health sector, and other stakeholders to scale local evidence-based solutions and tailor services to the diverse needs of the people we serve.
