This pilot used data collected in Uganda to report on the root causes of cold chain equipment failure. The resulting information may be used to inform global policy, equipment design, and country-level cold chain improvements.

As part of PATH’s work in vaccine and pharmaceutical supply systems and equipment, this report summarizes experiments to develop a visual inspection method for determining whether water-packs are frozen, partially frozen, or unfrozen when removed from a freezer for use in vaccine carriers. The report also examines water-pack temperature and expansion during freezing.

PATH has drawn on its global experience from our total market approach (TMA) work in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Myanmar, Nicaragua, Uganda, and Vietnam to produce a TMA planning guide to increase access to family planning. The guide and toolkit, produced by The Evidence Project, contain practical information and specific tools to help organizations and other planners conduct a landscape assessment, the first phase in developing a TMA.

In this document, PATH seeks to synthesize primary scientific literature, technology landscape analyses, and drug development principles to describe key considerations related to the diagnosis and control of schistosomiasis and outline a business case for financing, developing, and deploying new diagnostics for detection of Schistosoma infection.

This website about PATH's vaccine and pharmaceutical technologies work within the Technology Solutions program provides an overview plus more detailed information on three interrelated technical portfolios that cover our activities in product formulation and stabilization, delivery devices, and supply systems and equipment for low-resource settings.
