PATH Program

Primary health care

With help from a broad range of global and local partners, PATH works with national and subnational governments to reimagine primary health care (PHC) through a multi-disciplinary, person-centered approach that improves health and well-being for all.

What we do

Advancing person-centered care

Recognizing PHC as the critical pathway to achieving universal health coverage, PATH's primary health care program accelerates the development of multidisciplinary, high-performing primary health care services. Strong PHC is not only essential to accelerating progress toward health for all, it is also the world’s first and best line of defense against epidemics, pandemics, and health threats like antimicrobial resistance and climate change.

Partner with us.

Let's advance primary health care around the world.
