Some Vaccine Costs Are Hidden Below the Surface
This banner serves as the backdrop for a vaccine presentation game in the project Optimize traveling exhibit—an exhibit featuring supply chain innovations being developed and tested in different countries around the world. The banner illustrates that while vaccine price is a big part of the total cost, there are many other important costs associated with each type of vaccine presentation that are less obvious, including costs for shipping, cold chain maintenance, and training.
Project Optimize country reports
These reports describe partnerships with the ministries of health in Albania, Senegal, Vietnam to demonstrate innovations in the supply chain. These innovations, such as an online immunization registry and remote alarm system in the cold chain, may help meet the demands of an increasingly large and costly portfolio of vaccines.
This brochure describes how, since 2001, PATH has brought our global health expertise and innovative approaches to the fight against tuberculosis. We work hand in hand with global partners with a special focus on high-burden countries.
This guide was developed to help advocacy, communication, and social mobilization (ACSM) programs at national and subnational levels strengthen their routine monitoring and evaluation of tuberculosis ACSM activities. A training curriculum based on the guide is also available.
Policy advocacy is an effective method to achieve global health goals by ensuring that necessary resources, policies, and political will are available to support important programs. This guide helps professionals lead workshops based on PATH’s ten-part framework to assess policy advocacy options and plan strategic goals and activities.
Yellow Fever Vaccination: The Potential of Dose-Sparing to Increase Vaccine Supply and Availability
This report evaluates whether dose-sparing could improve the availability of yellow fever vaccine globally, including the potential benefits, possible obstacles, and associated costs of dose-sparing as a vaccine delivery strategy.
Vietnam's Immunization Registries Go Online
In Vietnam, project Optimize worked with government and software partners to help introduce a digital immunization registry. This brief describes how the registry allowed the health system to better track children due for vaccination and shortened the time required for recording and reporting immunizations, compared to the existing paper-based registry.
Supporting Tuberculosis Control in Vietnam: Building Bridges to Reduce TB Burden
This fact sheet provides an overview of PATH's support to the government of Vietnam on tuberculosis control activities, including the public-private mix referral mechanism and advocacy, communications, and social mobilization strategy.
This online version of our annual report summarizes our progress and milestones in overcoming some of the world’s toughest health challenges. Profiled solutions for better health at every age include development and delivery of new vaccines, critical advances in health technologies, and innovative programs and approaches.
