The foundation has awarded Jhpiego $2.3 million to bolster the “Partnership for Innovation” program, a unique collaboration between global health experts at Jhpiego and aspiring biomedical engineers at Hopkins. The key focus of the GE grant will be to advance the ePartogram and Cryopop, technologies designed to improve identification of complications at birth and to prevent cervical cancer, respectively.
