FHI 360 serves more than 70 countries and all U.S. states and territories.

The organization was formed in 1971 as Family Health International (FHI) with a broad mission to address health needs of disadvantaged populations globally. Early efforts focused on the development and introduction of family planning products and methods for women and men through clinical studies and education in the developing world.

During the 1980s, the organization became an international leader addressing the HIV/AIDS epidemic, with one of the world’s largest HIV/AIDS portfolios, including biological, clinical and social research, prevention of mother to child HIV transmission, HIV testing, antiretroviral treatment, and support of orphans and vulnerable children. This highly diversified work was implemented in partnership with communities, clinics, hopsitals, academic institutions, governments, and local and international nongovernmental organizations.
