What we do

PATH advances scientific research, engineers cutting-edge technologies, crafts evidence-based policies, and scales up resources, tools, and systems that transform lives. Learn more about our work below.

Product development and access
  1. Devices

    We create affordable, demand-driven, fit-for-purpose medical devices and health technologies that meet local needs and price points.
  2. Diagnostics

    We create affordable, portable, easy-to-use diagnostic tools and technologies that get results fast—so patients can get the right treatment at the right time, every time.
  3. Vaccines

    We advance vaccines through every stage of development and create technologies and strategies to help countries deliver them.
  4. Market shaping

    We assess supply and demand for health products and build markets that address the five A’s: affordability, availability, assured quality, appropriate design, and awareness.

Health and disease management
  1. Maternal, newborn, and child health

    We equip caregivers with best practices and create and advance easy-to-use technologies to prevent deadly complications in labor and delivery.
  2. Noncommunicable diseases

    We evaluate new screening tools and methods, advance promising interventions, and increase access to the diagnosis and treatment of noncommunicable diseases.
  3. Primary health care

    We work with countries to reimagine primary health care through a people-centered, data-driven approach that makes good health accessible for everyone. 
  4. Sexual and reproductive health

    We develop and advance woman-centered contraceptive technologies and increase access to affordable, high-quality reproductive health supplies.
  5. Infectious diseases

    We work hand-in-hand with governments and partners to effectively and sustainably treat infectious diseases, particularly in countries with high burdens.

Health systems strengthening
  1. Advocacy and policy

    We secure the support of policymakers, advocates, influencers, and citizens to commit the necessary resources and enact policies that bring health solutions to scale.
  2. Human-centered design

    We use human-centered design (HCD) to ensure that innovative medical technologies, tools, and approaches are appropriate, sustainable, and reflective of local priorities. 
  3. Epidemic preparedness and response

    We work to ensure all countries have the staff, systems, and supplies they need to prevent, detect, and respond to disease outbreaks and emerging health threats.
  4. AI, data, and digital

    Using AI, data, and digital innovation to strengthen health systems and expand equitable access to care
