  1. Transforming health policy through citizen-led social accountability
    In Kenya’s Kakamega County, citizen-led social accountability projects and data-driven advocacy led by the Kakamega County Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health Civil Society Organizations Alliance (MNCH Alliance), with support from PATH, have created a sustainable model for holding local decision-makers accountable and significantly improved health outcomes and quality of care for women and children in the county.

  2. Advancing Data Driven Advocacy for Women and Children
    PATH’s MNCHN Asset Tracker was designed to provide advocates from civil society organizations (CSOs) with an innovative tool for data-driven decision-making. To ensure this new tool reached advocates who could benefit from it, PATH partnered with the Medicines Transparency Alliance (MeTA) Kenya, a program of the Access to Medicines Platform (ATMP), to disseminate the Asset Tracker to advocates from CSOs working in Kenya’s Lake Region Economic Bloc and train them in its use. As a result, CSO advocates have been better able to access data on MNCHN interventions in Kenya, identify gaps in the provision of services, and target their communications with decision-makers in their counties to achieve health outcomes and improve quality of care.

  3. Improving access to MNCH medical devices: Summary of research and recommendations from the Market Dynamics for Medical Devices project
    Medical devices are critical for detecting and treating many serious health conditions facing mothers and newborns, including anemia, pre-eclampsia, and neonatal respiratory distress. They also have expensive and complex training and maintenance needs and are thus challenging to manage effectively in low resource settings. However, there is a lack of systematic, cross-country, and cross-device data outlining these challenges and evaluating current device access.PATH led the Market Dynamics for Medical Devices (MD4MD) project to address this need, quantifying device availability and diagnosing key barriers to access for five priority countries and seven priority maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH) devices. This report aims to summarize key findings from this research and outline an investment agenda for improving access to these critical devices.

  4. Scaling Access to Lifesaving Equipment (SCALE) project
    Medical devices are a critical but often overlooked component for effective facility-based care, especially for women and children. Many medical devices have unique characteristics that make them difficult to manage effectively, particularly in low-resource settings. For instance, some devices can serve multiple clinical uses across different health programs—complicating ownership and funding responsibilities. They can sometimes require extensive training, ongoing preventive maintenance, and a reliable supply of specialized parts and accessories.This fact sheet offers an overview of the Scaling Access to Lifesaving Equipment (SCALE) project—which builds on previous research and initiatives under Market Dynamics for Medical Devices. Through this project, PATH will identify and test promising new business and operating models, while strengthening the underlying systems for managing all durable medical devices and equipment. With a vision that patients should have reliable access to device-related health services, this project seeks to ensure medical devices are available and functional in sufficient quantities across health facilities.

  5. Advancing PHC policies in Kenya
    Drawing on PATH’s global expertise working in primary health care (PHC) for more than 40 years, as well as deep engagement in Kenya, where PATH has supported the government for more than 30 years, PATH regularly serves as a technical partner to the Kenyan government on PHC policy adoption and implementation at both the national and subnational levels. This factsheet highlights examples as well as priorities for future work.
