Emerging Health Threats

JSI works with country-level and other stakeholders to make disease surveillance systems more connected, accurate, and agile. This strengthens the first line of defense against emerging and chronic health threats.

JSI partners closely with local and national entities to reinforce infectious disease responses by assessing them and co-creating tailored solutions to ensure local ownership, capacity, and sustainability while enhancing agility and responsiveness to emerging health threats. We do this through programs in areas including:

• Primary Health Care
• Infectious Diseases
• Immunization
• Neglected Tropical Diseases
• Emergency Preparedness and Response

JSI partners with communities to design and implement locally tailored global health security solutions. This includes using social and behavior change across all levels of disease interventions from policy and program design to risk communication to ensuring community buy-in.

JSI strengthens every level of the health system. We have a long history of leading supply chain management for global health initiatives and enhancing the capacity of other health system pillars.

• By building streamlined supply chains, we ensure accessibility of high-quality prevention, diagnostic, and treatment commodities at public and private facilities and in the community.
• We expand laboratory capacity by strengthening the workforce, providing diagnostic resources, and connecting experts for capacity exchange.

We partner with government, research, and health institutions and communities to apply a One Health approach to understand and respond to vector-borne diseases and other health threats to people, animals, and the environment.

JSI works with governments and multilateral organizations to strengthen standards, policies, and legislation on infectious/zoonotic disease prevention and control and emergency preparedness.
