COVID-19

Pandemics require urgent short-term emergency response coupled with longer-term health system strengthening. PATH does both. We are supporting countries to rapidly improve oxygen supply, access to vaccines, disease surveillance, and supply chains. While making sure these systems are also prepared to respond to other threats, emergencies, and outbreaks.

Make a gift to PATH today to help end this pandemic.
