For more than four decades, PATH has been a trusted partner to government leaders, social investors, grassroots groups, and businesses of every size and type. We specialize in matching each partner’s expertise with our unique strengths to develop, deploy, and scale up innovations that remove roadblocks to health.
We partner with local, national, and global decision-makers to craft evidence-based policies, make better use of better data, navigate regulatory hurdles, shape markets for products that improve health, and design cost-effective systems to deliver these innovations to the people who need them most.
In communities around the world, we connect local innovators and decision-makers with our global network of partners to develop responsive, human-centered solutions to health challenges. Along the way, people build skills to fill new health care and technology jobs. Local innovators develop and find markets for brilliant health solutions. Communities, countries, and economies thrive.

Thousands of partners, millions of lives saved
Over the past four decades, that collaborative approach has brought together tens of thousands of partners to save lives and improve health for hundreds of millions of people around the world. With a diverse array of partners based on four continents, these photos show a few of the innovations we've developed:
PATH has more than two dozen vaccines in development or already in use to protect against 15 different diseases. Our vaccines for meningitis A and Japanese encephalitis together have reached more than 500 million people in Africa and Asia.

PATH partnerships have also launched strategies that help countries and communities strengthen their health systems, advocate for lifesaving policies and priorities, and generate demand for high-quality health services and products.

Finally, we focus on digital health solutions that make better use of better data so no child misses a vaccination, every health worker is empowered to track and treat sick patients, and precious health resources go where they’re needed most.
