As part of PATH’s work in vaccine and pharmaceutical technologies, this technology update highlights our work in microarray patches (also known as microneedle patches) for drug delivery. It explores the advantages of delivering drugs by microarray patch including the potential for increased patient compliance and safety. A related technology update captures our work in microarray patches for vaccine delivery.

During the past 25 years, Zambia has made tremendous progress in preventing deaths and improving health among women, newborns, and children. Despite this, many still do not receive basic health services and lack access to essential medicines, products, and technologies. This report demonstrates the potential impact of increased prioritization of reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health commodities and interventions in order to support advocates as they interact with decision-makers to influence policy and budget changes.

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.
