In Zambia, the continued prevalence of congenital syphilis is a risk to newborns, and can cause premature birth, low birth weight, birth defects, and even newborn death. When pregnant women are tested for syphilis, however, service providers can treat the infection and prevent transmission to newborns. PATH is focusing advocacy efforts on the scale-up of a newly available rapid syphilis test, which offers a low-cost, easy-to-use screening option.

Our world is increasingly interconnected, and while this raises risks, it also brings opportunities to collaborate on solutions that keep communities safe. PATH recently joined with the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other organizations to help advance the US government’s pledge to support, assist, and empower poor countries in anticipating, preventing, and overcoming infectious disease outbreaks.

Hazard analysis critical control points (HACCP) planning is a critical step in ensuring the safety and quality of any food product, including donated and processed human milk. PATH developed this trainer’s guide and staff workbook to guide HACCP workshops in human milk banks.

PATH collaborates with the US Department of Defense (DoD) to advance global health innovations. This fact sheet provides examples of successes that PATH, DoD, and our partners have had in working to adapt, test, and expand access to tools and technologies that can reduce illness in the world’s most vulnerable populations.

For over 15 years, PATH has pursued culturally appropriate programmatic and technological innovations to extend survival and improve the quality of life for women with breast cancer. We focus on identifying approaches and technologies that are feasible, effective, and affordable in low-resource contexts, and we envision a continuous model of care that connects health care delivery (early detection, diagnosis, and treatment) with public participation (awareness, survival, and advocacy).
