PATH announces workforce reductions

Last week, PATH leadership made the difficult decision to reduce our workforce. This decision comes in response to the unexpected pause in US government funding, which accounts for just over 30 percent of PATH’s annual budget.

This was not a choice made lightly. PATH’s people are our greatest asset. Our global team includes immensely dedicated and talented scientists, public health experts, engineers, advocates, and more—all working together to improve health and well-being for the people who need it most. 

Though heartbreaking, these workforce reductions safeguard our ability to continue other critical health projects and ensure PATH can continue to support communities at the heart of our work.  

The pause in US funding is a significant obstacle in global efforts to advance human health, but our commitment to the communities we serve remains steadfast. And our work continues—strong, focused, and driven by the urgency of the challenges ahead. Now, more than ever, we stand firm in our mission to transform global health and save lives.
