PATH explored how 11 emerging innovations for women, newborns, and children could help dramatically accelerate progress in maternal and child survival, specifically in the context of USAID’s 24 priority countries. The 11 innovations we modeled were identified through the Innovation Countdown 2030 initiative.

Soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) remain a massive global health problem. More robust, simple, and sensitive diagnostic tools will improve the ability of control programs to determine infection and response procedures. This document illustrates PATH’s contributions toward creating a business case for financing, developing, and deploying new diagnostics for detection of STH infection.

PATH’s Digital Health team conducted a strategic review of the Health Information Systems Programme (HISP) at the University of Oslo. The review focused on assessing HISP’s role, capacities, challenges, and opportunities. The report summarizes those findings and includes recommendations to help meet increased demand for District Health Information Software 2 (DHIS 2) development and implementation support.

This seven-piece series of purchasing guides is intended to aid procurers in the selection of maternal and neonatal health technologies including birthing and cesarean section simulators, continuous positive airway pressure, fetal monitors, portable ultrasound, rechargeable lighting, thermoregulation devices, and weight scales. Each guide reviews the technology and considers qualities important for use in low-resource settings.

As with many other diseases, the burden of breast cancer falls most heavily on poor, marginalized, and rural women due to their unequal access to screening and treatment. This fact sheet describes PATH and our partners’ novel approach to improving early detection, diagnosis, and care in La Libertad, Peru, using a health care model that can be expanded and applied to other low-resource settings.
