A short, community-focused guide developed by PATH and partners to raise awareness about the importance of medical oxygen. It explains what medical oxygen is, why it’s vital for saving lives, and how it is used to treat conditions such as pneumonia, complications after childbirth, and COVID-19. The document highlights Malawi’s efforts to expand oxygen access through the National Medical Oxygen Roadmap (2021–2026), training of health workers, and investments in production and maintenance systems. It also corrects common myths and misconceptions about oxygen use, emphasizing that oxygen is safe, effective, and essential for quality health care.

Oxygen therapy can save millions of lives. Decision-makers should take action today to ensure equitable, predictable access for all patients. This resource, part of the oxygen primer, offers a messaging map to help advocates communicate about the need for scaling up oxygen delivery in health facilities, and how to prioritize the issue. Advocates can mix and match these messages depending on their specific audience and their need.

The success of pulse oximetry scale-up depends in part on a growing demand for pulse oximeters by health experts, civil society, and government stakeholders. This messaging map is designed primarily for advocates who are delivering messages about the importance of pulse oximeters to health decision-makers, policymakers, and political stakeholders.This resource is part of the Pulse Oximetry Primer.

This document highlights the health impact of a variety of medical devices and health technologies that are in use around the world, such as SoloShot syringes, HEATmarker Vaccine Vial Monitors, Nifty Feeding Cups, Uniject injection systems, and safe water devices. Innovations that have been produced at a scale of million and billions of units as well as more recent product introductions addressing critical global health needs are featured.

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is a powerful, high-throughput technology that enables rapid and comprehensive analysis of genetic material, offering unparalleled sensitivity for detecting known and unknown contaminants, verifying product integrity, and supporting regulatory compliance.This webinar discusses the practical applicability of NGS sequencing for vaccine development and testing by low- and middle-income country manufacturers (LMICs). This two-day webinar provides up-to-date information and guidance from subject matter experts on NGS methodology, validation, regulatory expectations, and controls. It features two real-world case studies and a panel discussion between regulatory experts.Speakers include:Kutub Mahmood, PhD, Project Director, Polio Vaccines, Center for Vaccine Innovation and Access, PATHTara Tagmyer, PhD, Scientific Director, Bacterial & Parasitic Diseases, Center for Vaccine Innovation and Access, PATHColette Cote, PhD, US General Manager and Chief Scientific and Portfolio Officer, PathoQuestArifa Khan, PhD, Head, Molecular Retrovirology Unit, Division of Viral Products, Office of Vaccines Research and Review in the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, US Food and Drug AdministrationBradley Hasson, MBA, Director of Lab Operations for Next Generation Sequencing, Millipore SigmaLeyla Diaz, PhD, Technical Consultant, Scientific and Regulatory Consultancy, Millipore SigmaKonstantin Chumakov, PhD, Adjunct Professor, George Washington University and University of MarylandJavier Martin, PhD, Principal Scientist, Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (UK)Manasi Majumdar, PhD, Principal Scientist, Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (UK)Yola Eka Erwinda, MS, Senior Laboratory Officer, Biological Products Laboratory Division, Indonesian Food and Drug ControlDevendra Barthwal, MS, Assistant Technical Officer, Central Drugs Laboratory, Kasauli, India, and certified WHO InspectorPlease note: The slides and recording from Day 2 presentation 2.3 are temporarily unavailable.
