The goal of the Introducing Digital Immunization information systems:Exchange and Learning from Vietnam (IDEAL-Vietnam) project is to explore and disseminate evidence and lessons learned from Vietnam’s National Immunization Information System (NIIS) to support successful implementation of EIRs in other countries.This project will serve as a comprehensive guide, consolidating a series of case studies and reports into a working library of resources to inform, influence and accelerate the successful implementation of similar work on a global scale.These case studies, other materials related to the project, and future case studies and reports can also be found on the IDEAL-Vietnam project homepage on Technet-21.org.

Hypoxemia, insufficient oxygen in the blood, affects millions of people each year suffering from a range of common conditions—including newborn complications, obstetric emergencies, and pneumonia. Because of the prevalence of hypoxemia, oxygen is one of the 30 high-priority lifesaving medicines for women and children included in the World Health Organization Model List of Essential Medicines. However, evidence suggests that nearly half of hospitals in low- and middle-income countries have inconsistent or no supply of oxygen, and only half have working pulse oximeters to measure the oxygen level in blood—a critical element of safe oxygen delivery. Unreliable access to safe oxygen is the result of many complex, interlocking market and health system issues. Working in close partnership with country stakeholders and industry members, PATH’s Increasing Access to Safe Oxygen and Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health (MNCH) Devices project aims to provide technical assistance and build capacity in support of oxygen delivery scale-up at the country level, with an eye toward expanding to other essential medical devices specifically for MNCH. This fact sheet provides an overview of this work.

The European Union (EU) is a critical investor in the global effort to develop innovative solutions to the world's biggest health challenges. This two-page brief covers the EU's history of supporting global health research and innovation, and lays out some next steps to build on this leadership and support a strong EU-Africa partnership.

As a partner of the Bridge Collaborative, PATH worked with other global organizations to identify opportunities for cross-sector actions to address global challenges influenced by the development, health, and environmental sectors. This report identified three focus areas:Accelerating a low-carbon, clean air, and environmentally-friendly energy future for allTransforming the global food system for health and sustainabilityTargeting sanitation and wastewater improvements to maximise benefits for people and natureThe Bridge Collaborative is a partnership of PATH, The Nature Conservancy, Duke University, International Food Policy Research Institute, and UNDP.
