When outbreaks strike, systems save lives. Isolation centers, surveillance networks, trained health workers, and rapid response teams help to contain a disease before it becomes a humanitarian crisis. Without them, diseases spread farther, faster, and become far more difficult and costly to stop.

You can help us strengthen those systems. Give to Jhpiego today: https://bit.ly/3Zi30vJ

Maternal health outcomes improve when countries lead their own change, and when they learn from each other.

MSD for Mothers, and Jhpiego recently launched Uniting for Quality (U4Q) - Regional Replication, an initiative that advances country-led quality improvement efforts in maternal health. With learning pilots across Bangladesh, Indonesia, and the Philippines, and a new Virtual Resource Center to sustain collaboration across borders, the initiative brings regional momentum to a shared goal.

During the opening plenary at , Dr. Virgile Madua Kikaya emphasized that while significant progress has been made in multisectoral collaboration through approaches like One Health, more work is needed to address the complex drivers of disease outbreaks.

He highlighted the importance of moving beyond siloed responses and investing in locally driven, cross-sector partnerships that include communities, government, trade, mining, and other key stakeholders. We must always be prepared, and investments should leave behind lasting infrastructure and stronger systems.

Perhaps most importantly, Dr. Kikaya emphasized how health security depends on trust. Communities must be engaged as partners and decision-makers, with long-term commitments that outlast individual outbreaks.

Building resilient health systems requires collaboration, sustained investment, and community leadership at every level.

When Soki became pregnant unexpectedly, she faced stigma and isolation from her family and community. Unsure where to turn, she nearly missed out on the care she needed.

After hearing a radio message encouraging pregnant women to seek health services, Soki visited a health facility supported by Jhpiego’s AMPLI-PPHI project, where she received prenatal care, health education, and preparation for childbirth.

When Soki experienced a life-threatening postpartum hemorrhage, rapid response from skilled health workers saved her life.

Today, Soki is a healthy mother raising her daughter and sharing her story to help other women seek the care they deserve.

Her journey is a powerful reminder that access to quality maternal health services can mean the difference between life and death.
