Medical oxygen saves lives — but only if it is available when patients need it.Fixing the global oxygen crisis requires more than equipment. It takes policy, advocacy, financing, and systems innovation working together.Around the world, PATH has partnered with countries to shape context‑specific policies, strengthen national plans, and mobilize resources for long‑term oxygen access.Kenya is one powerful example of how advocacy and partnership can transform systems.Watch our latest video to see advocacy in action.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the most urgent public health crises of our time, and one of its most overlooked drivers sits quietly in medicine cabinets across India. Unused and expired antibiotics, when flushed down drains, discarded in household waste, or stored indefinitely, leach into water sources and soil, accelerate resistance, and create opportunities for accidental misuse.India's health care facilities alone generate an estimated 484 tons of biomedical waste daily. The absence of a formal, community-level medicine disposal system means unused and expired antibiotics routinely enter the environment through unsafe practices, contributing to AMR in ways that remain largely unmeasured and unaddressed.PATH, in partnership with the Centre for Health Research and Innovation (CHRI) and with support from GSK Cares, a CSR initiative, is piloting a community-driven and evidence-based initiative in Maharashtra to address this critical gap. Maharashtra's high urbanization, pharmaceutical activity, and existing public health infrastructure make it an ideal setting to test and deploy scalable models for safe antibiotic disposal and AMR containment.The initiative is structured in 2 phases. Phase 1 focuses on generating robust baseline evidence through a study on Knowledge, Attitude, and Practices (KAP) across selected geographies, alongside a hackathon and technical landscaping exercise to review national and international disposal guidelines and identify gaps in local implementation. Phase 2 translates these insights into action through co-designing multidimensional interventions with government, health care providers, pharmacists, and civil society. These include community awareness campaigns grounded in behavioral science principles, capacity building of frontline health workers and community groups, and setting up pharmacy-based antibiotic take-back pilots with drop-box collection points.The program is designed with policy integration at its core, generating evidence that can inform Maharashtra's AMR State Action Plan and contribute to national goals under India's National Action Plan on AMR (NAP-AMR) 2.0. Running through June 2028, the initiative aims to produce tested, scalable disposal models that are behaviorally informed, technologically enabled, and built for lasting systemic change.

The PATH Kenya Annual Report 2025 highlights progress made in strengthening Kenya’s health system through partnership, innovation, and locally led solutions. The report captures key achievements across immunization, primary health care, HIV, maternal and newborn health, digital health, and health system strengthening—working in close collaboration with the Government of Kenya, county leadership, and partners.Designed for donors, policymakers, partners, and practitioners, the report reflects both impact and learning from a year marked by evolving health priorities and resource pressures, while reinforcing the importance of resilient systems and equitable access to quality health services across all 47 counties.

On April 15, 2026, PATH held a webinar on opportunities for collaboration between country malaria and immunization programs on malaria vaccine implementation. Speakers from Ghana and Nigeria shared real-world examples, highlighting what’s worked and lessons learned so far.The session was moderated by Rose Zulliger, Director of Technical Services and Innovation, Malaria Consortium, with a welcome by John Bawa, Global Technical Director – Malaria Vaccines, PATH. Featured speakers included Dr. Nnenna Ogbulafor, National Coordinator of National Malaria Elimination Program, Nigeria, and Dr. Naziru Tanko Mohammed, Deputy EPI Manager, Ghana.This was the second instance in a quarterly webinar series this year on learnings from malaria vaccine rollout in Africa.

This endline brief summarizes a two-year collaboration between PATH, the Ghana Health Service, and partners to strengthen health and nutrition services for children under five in early childhood development centers across Ghana. Through a co-created, government-aligned approach piloted in 24 schools, the project improved implementation of school health and nutrition policies, expanded the use of child health records and routine health checks, and introduced engaging, play-based learning tools to build children’s knowledge of nutrition.
