We're proud to partner with the IOC, WHO, and national and local stakeholders—including the Nepal Olympic Committee—to implement the Community Sport & Health Cooperation Initiative in Nepal!

The program aims to improve youth well-being and help prevent noncommunicable diseases by embedding movement into everyday life. Together, we are expanding access to community sport activities in schools and strengthening links between education, health, sport & community systems.

In many low-resource areas, children with serious illnesses go undiagnosed due to a lack of basic tools. PATH introduced pulse oximeters and decision-support tools in clinics across four countries. With 1,400 providers trained, over 200,000 children received better care—proving that small, affordable technologies can dramatically improve outcomes.

In , children receive the malaria vaccine in four doses. But ensuring that children complete the full schedule presents challenges for caregivers.

PATH and the Communication For Development Foundation Uganda - CDFU are piloting a toll-free call center program that helps parents and caregivers complete the malaria immunization schedule.

“Already, many mothers have expressed appreciation for the calls,” CDFU Executive Director Nankunda Babihuga said. “Knowing that someone is checking on their child’s health makes them feel valued, and the follow-up by health workers is motivating them to continue returning for subsequent doses.”

Medical oxygen saves lives, but access to it remains deeply unequal, particularly in low- and middle-income countries where resources are limited and systems remain fragmented and unreliable.

Vietnam is no exception.

At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, PATH supported Vietnam’s Bộ Y tế in assessing nationwide oxygen capacity gaps.

Our findings highlighted the urgent need for a long-term solution to strengthen Vietnam’s respiratory care ecosystem beyond short-term emergency measures.

To address these issues, PATH and the Ministry of Health codesigned and implemented a series of initiatives under the SOURCE project to provide all patients with access to the lifesaving medical oxygen they need.

Mental health care isn’t a luxury, it’s survival. And for Myanmar’s mothers, the time is now.

In places where health care resources are stretched thin, perinatal mental health conditions don’t exist in isolation. They amplify maternal mortality, child malnutrition, and intergenerational poverty.

Issues like this require collective solutions and a sustained commitment to integrate mental health support into the fabric of maternal care.

In Myanmar, progress hinges on two foundations:
1️⃣ Strengthening health systems to reliably identify and address perinatal mental health needs.
2️⃣ Fostering environments in which women and families can seek support without stigma.

World Health Organization Myanmar, UNICEF Myanmar, and PATH worked together to produce a Myanmar-specific training package that equips frontline health care providers to identify, assess, and respond to perinatal mental health conditions. It promotes early detection and intervention through routine health services and emphasizes person-centered, culturally sensitive, trauma-informed care.

PATH’s program uses a methodology known as the 4D Approach—Discover, Define, Dream, and Design—to co-create solutions that address real-world health challenges.

Through collaboration with communities, health workers, and stakeholders, this iterative process ensures that solutions are both innovative + deeply aligned with user needs and contexts.

Before introducing new health data innovations, strengthen the fundamentals. 💪

Clear role definitions, streamlined reporting requirements, and collecting only essential data create an immediate impact and cost less than new technologies.

Our research shows these foundational improvements work across all levels of digital maturity.

Cervical cancer kills over 340,000 women yearly. HPV, the leading cause, is preventable with vaccines, but multidose schedules are too expensive for many countries.

PATH helped evaluate Cecolin, a low-cost HPV vaccine, and proved it’s effective in a single dose. This breakthrough improves access and reduces costs—helping protect millions of girls and prevent cervical cancer worldwide.

Edidiong Gabriel Sylvester is a local community health volunteer in southern Nigeria. Last June, she participated in a hands-on training offered by the Akwa Ibom State Primary Healthcare Development Agency.

Supported by the Rotary International Healthy Communities Challenge—implemented in partnership with PATH—the government trained Edidiong and her cohort on how to properly diagnose and manage care and treatment for childhood illnesses such as malaria, diarrhea, and pneumonia. Afterwards, the volunteers underwent 2 weeks of intensive mentoring by trained health professionals.

This training was a turning point for Edidiong, equipping her with clinical knowledge needed to save lives in her community.

“My village people are very happy for this project,” Edidiong said. “My people now have more confidence in me and receive me well.”
