The HIV response has pioneered integrated person–centered health services—an approach to health services that puts people and communities at the center of health systems, and empowers people to take charge of their own health rather than being passive recipients of care.Now, as countries prioritize primary health care as the foundation for achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC), experts recommend expanding HIV–related integrated care, within HIV service platforms and in broader primary health care, to strengthen the HIV response and bring the world closer to ending AIDS as a public health threat.An integrated person–centered care (IPCC) approach is essential for several reasons. Not only can IPCC enable superior care, but it can also accelerate momentum towards UHC by removing deterrents to service access and utilization, especially among populations that have historically been marginalized and left out of mainstream healthcare.By tailoring health services to the needs and circumstances of individual people, families, and communities, IPCC seeks to motivate people to seek care, keep people engaged in care, and ensure the best possible health outcomes.Following through on the commitment to end AIDS can help unearth broader lessons from the HIV response to inform person–centered health systems that drive health for all. This report, co–published by Friends of the Global Fight, PATH, and JSI, identifies key lessons learned from the HIV response, offers future recommendations to help chart a way forward toward broader implementation of IPCC, and concludes with an action plan highlighting critical next steps that need to be taken to scale IPCC.

India faced substantial challenges amid the COVID–19 pandemic, when navigating multiple waves that strained the health care system, affecting millions. In response, the STAR 3ACP project in India, led by PSI and implemented in collaboration with PATH, Jhpiego, International Labour Organization, and with technical oversight from the WHO, addressed COVID–19 challenges through evidence generation, supply chain strengthening, policy development, and demand creation. This factsheet outlines the key activities and outcomes, emphasizing the country's pandemic response and enhanced preparedness for future health emergencies.

This briefing paper describes a study to assess the current and planned state of vaccine manufacturing capacity in Africa, and provides insights into what is needed to develop a robust and sustainable vaccine manufacturing ecosystem.African vaccine manufacturing is set to expand dramatically as the continent works to safeguard itself against future pandemics and disease outbreaks—but with so many new projects on the horizon, a clear picture of gaps and needs is necessary to ensure all stakeholders are aligned and investments can succeed.This research can help stakeholders, governments, and funders better coordinate and prioritize development efforts, interventions, and investments.

This summary report highlights key takeaways from the co-branded event – ‘Global Vaccine Research Collaborative: Building Consensus for Future Health Emergencies Prevention, Preparedness, and Response’ – held on June 3, 2023, in Hyderabad, India. Organized by the Department of Pharmaceuticals, Government of India, PATH, and CEPI, the event was aimed at building a consensus among various stakeholders engaged in vaccine research, regulation, development, and manufacturing in G20 member states and special invitee countries.
