This spreadsheet provides publicly available information on clinical trials of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) candidate vaccines and monoclonal antibodies intended for prevention.Sources of information for these trials are clinicaltrials.gov; who.int/clinical-trials-registry-platform; clinicaltrialsregister.eu; and anzctr.org.au, which includes clinical trial registries from 17 countries.Some information is also obtained through contact with investigators, sponsors, and funders of vaccine trials. This spreadsheet pairs with the RSV Vaccine and mAb Snapshot, which provides a summary of the RSV vaccine and mAb candidates in development worldwide.

Primary health care (PHC) is recognized as the most inclusive, equitable, cost-effective, and efficient approach to enhancing people’s health and well-being, while facilitating universal access to integrated health services, positioning it as the “engine” for driving progress towards 2030 Universal Health Coverage goals.Integration is a key enabler for people-centered PHC, and can be defined and approached in numerous ways dependent on contextual factors and needs. As countries look towards 2030 goals and health system leaders consider whether and how to advance integrated systems and services, additional practical guidance is needed for how to prepare, design, implement, and monitor integration.This primer aims to serve as a practical reference guide for policymakers, health system planners, implementers, advocates, and donors as they consider advancing integrated systems and services to strengthen PHC.Building from a literature review and learnings from PATH’s experience advancing integrated services and systems with government, the private sector, and other key stakeholders, this primer synthesizes practical considerations for approaching integration, including:an orientation and framework for approaching the type (“what”) and degree (“how”) of integration, including context-specific examples of operationalizing integration within the domains of service delivery, organizational and professional networks, and health systems.guiding principles to consider during planning and implementation.a shortlist of tools and resources to assess readiness and adoption of an integrated model.measuring integration, with an emphasis on coverage, quality, and cost.country spotlights featuring applied integration experience in India, Kenya, Senegal, and Vietnam.

Lymphatic Filariasis and Onchocerciasis reached the World Health Organization’s (WHO) elimination threshold in both Plateau and Nasarawa States in north-central Nigeria in 2017 and 2021, respectively.However, no evidence-informed plan was created to detect or respond to potential recrudescence of the eliminated diseases while waiting for national elimination to occur. To meet this gap, Plateau and Nasarawa States were selected to pilot the development of the WHO integrated post validation/verification surveillance (PVS) planning toolkit for neglected tropical diseases.PATH conducted the pilot, working in collaboration with The Carter Center – Nigeria as a local partner.

The Millennium Water Alliance (MWA) has been implementing the five-year Sustainable WASH Project in Ethiopia to strengthen water supply, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services in schools, health facilities, and communities, contributing directly to Ethiopia’s One WASH National Program and the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation’s Safe Water Initiative 2025 strategy.Acting as a central hub, MWA has coordinated partners’ activities in the Amhara Region, and supported the expansion of improved WASH services. In August 2024, PATH conducted the endline evaluation of WASH services in 26 selected health facilities across Dera, Farta, and North Mecha Woredas.This evaluation focused on assessing the quality, functionality, and improvements in WASH services, particularly for facilities implementing the Clean Clinic Model. The findings highlight progress achieved since baseline and midline assessments, while emphasizing the challenges faced due to Ethiopia’s ongoing conflict and climate change impacts.
