Oxygen therapy is an essential part of ending preventable deaths among children and adults globally. However, reliable access to oxygen, paired with pulse oximetry, remains inadequate across many health facilities in low- and middle-income countries. This series of use cases highlights country examples where tools from the Oxygen delivery toolkit: Resources to plan and scale medical oxygen helped advocates, implementers, and decision-makers to plan, manage, and communicate the value of scaling up oxygen delivery systems and access to oxygen and pulse oximetry.This resource is part of the Oxygen delivery toolkit: Resources to plan and scale medical oxygen. The materials provided within the toolkit can be used together or separately, as needed. The complete toolkit is available at www.path.org/oxygen-delivery-toolkit.

PATH is sponsoring a Phase 3 clinical study is to generate immunogenicity data for one dose of Innovax 9vHPV vaccine compared to a one dose of GARDASIL 9, with the prospect of providing evidence for another nine-valent vaccine product option for single-dose vaccination.

Integrated antenatal care eLearning courseTo address the critical challenges of neonatal and maternal mortality, Ghana Health Service and PATH expanded infectious disease screening and treatment among pregnant women through the Integrated Antenatal Care project (2022‒2024).One key output of this project is an eLearning course designed to build health care providers’ capacity to improve the overall quality of care, including diagnosis, prevention, and management of maternal infections in pregnant women during antenatal care visits. It also fosters demand creation for intervention and services available in health facilities. The course’s overall goal is to contribute to the reduction of morbidity and mortality attributable to infections in newborns by improving the diagnosis and management of maternal infections during antenatal care.The course includes the following modules:1. Infection prevention and control2. Point of care and other diagnostics3. Clinical features and management of selected infections in pregnant women4. Antimicrobial resistance and stewardship5. Standard operating procedures for infection control and management during antenatal careThe document linked below provides a course overview.

This factsheet outlines critical questions and answers related to using medical gas piping systems to deliver medical oxygen. It is intended for use by health facilities, other implementers, and health decision-makers to understand the requirements, benefits, and challenges of procuring, installing, and utilizing a medical gas piping system.

Maternal and child health (MCH) funding is among the most cost-effective and lifesaving investments the United States can make. Since 2012, US leadership and investments through USAID have helped save the lives of over 340,000 women and 9.3 million children, reducing the mortality rate for children under five by nearly a quarter in USAID’s 25 priority countries.
