Women’s health and well-being are the cornerstone of family health, yet women remain chronically underserved, driven by fragmented health systems, misaligned policies, underinvestment in women‑centered research, and limited access to lifesaving services and products. Investing in women's and family health and the systems that serve them leads to transformative gains, leading to healthier communities, and economies.

As a pillar of our approach to enhancing primary health care, PATH has been partnering with countries to advance health equity for women and families--applying a life-course driven approach and integrated people-centered care to increase access to high-quality products and services for women and their families that prioritize dignity, informed choice, and autonomy.

This brief summarizes core tenets of PATH's approach to advancing integrated life-course care for women and their families and spotlights examples of our expertise across our maternal, newborn, and child health and sexual and reproductive health portfolio.
