PATH

👟🎽In , something simple is making a big difference: more opportunities for people to move, play, and be active.

Across schools and communities, the Community Sport and Health Cooperation Initiative is helping make sport and physical activity a regular part of everyday life. It does this through communication campaigns, school and community programs, nationwide competitions, practical sport-for-health resources, and the innovative “School Sports Ambassador” model—helping young people build healthier habits and lead more active lives.

And the impact is clear:
✅1.2 million+ people reached through engagement activities
✅229,000+ students and community members supported to stay physically active
✅20.6% increase in students meeting recommended physical activity levels

Implemented by PATH, the Sports Authority of Vietnam, the Nghe An Department of Education and Training, World Health Organization (WHO), the Vietnam Olympics Committee, and other partners. Vietnam is one of five countries, including Ghana, Nepal, Peru, and Tanzania, that are implementing the Sport and Health Cooperation Initiative as part of the International Olympics Committee’s Olympism365 strategy. Together, these efforts are demonstrating what is possible when the sport, health, and education sectors come together around a shared goal: healthier, more active lives for young people.

A patient should never miss treatment because they were sent to the wrong facility.

Yet every day, people travel long distances, miss work, and wait for care only to learn that the medicine, diagnostic test, or supplies they need are unavailable.

We have seen what’s possible when health workers have better information. In Tanzania, the Better Immunization Data Initiative, led by the Ministry of Health with support from Gates Foundation and implemented with partners including PATH, demonstrated the impact of better data access for health workers. By connecting immunization and supply information, it improved visibility into vaccine stocks, helped reduce stockouts, and supported better day-to-day decisions at health facilities.

Dr. Samuel Wambugu of PATH explores how we can build on this progress. With stronger digital health systems and the responsible use of , health workers could soon answer practical questions in real time, such as where a patient can get the medicine they need today.

In an op-ed for Re:Solve Global Health, he argues that the future of procurement is not only about moving products. It’s about making sure the right information reaches the right people at the right time, so patients are not lost in the system.

Our Inside Global Health conversation with Chris Elias, President of Global Development at the Gates Foundation, hosted by Kammerle Schneider, PATH’s Chief Global Health Programs Officer, brought together people who have supported PATH in different ways over the years.

What stood out most during the conversation was that while global health has changed significantly in recent years, many of the biggest challenges remain. The urgency is real, and so is the opportunity to do more when we work together.

As we approach PATH’s 50th anniversary, we’re focused on continuing to create spaces like this. Spaces where we can have honest conversations, strengthen connections, and stay grounded in what it takes to improve health for people everywhere.

As countries prepare for the Global Fund Grant Cycle 8, now is the time to explore what works and how to scale it.

Tomorrow, join INPUD, Unitaid, PATH, and partners for a discussion on how harm reduction innovations can strengthen HIV and hepatitis C prevention and expand access to care for people who use drugs.

PATH’s Dr. Kimberly Green will share lessons from introducing long-acting depot buprenorphine across eight countries, including its potential to improve treatment, quality of life, and program efficiency.

This webinar will also explore:
✔️ Community-led research and responses
✔️ Simplified hepatitis C models of care
✔️ Low dead-space needles and syringes
✔️ Financing and scale-up opportunities under Global Fund Grant Cycle 8

🔬Global health is undergoing a fundamental reset.

In a conversation with Devex, PATH President and CEO Nikolaj Gilbert reflects on how shifts in global financing, rising disease burdens, and accelerating innovation are reshaping the sector—and what it will take to improve health outcomes in the years ahead.

This shift is central to PATH’s 2030 strategy, focused on integration, stronger country partnerships, and ensuring innovations translate into real-world impact.

The future of global health will depend not only on new tools and technologies, but also on strong systems, sustainable financing, and trusted partnerships that help communities thrive.

🌍Today, PATH is launching our next five-year strategy: From innovation to impact.

Too often, lifesaving health solutions fail to reach the people who need them most. At PATH, our mission is to close that gap by working alongside countries, communities, and partners to turn innovation into better health for millions.

Our new strategy reflects both urgency and opportunity.

Global health challenges are becoming more complex, while resources are increasingly strained. This strategy sharpens our focus so we can direct our expertise, partnerships, and investments toward the opportunities with the greatest potential for lasting impact.

From now through 2030, PATH will focus on:
🎯Developing and introducing vaccines, diagnostics, and devices that reach everyone
🎯Protecting more people from infectious diseases
🎯Strengthening and integrating health systems to meet current and emerging needs

We will also work differently, placing even greater emphasis on local leadership, sustainability, and strong partnerships.

We invite you to explore our new strategy and join us in advancing a more equitable and effective future for global health.

🚀How do we move health innovation beyond pilots and scale what works?

At Philanthropy Asia Summit 2026, leaders from government, philanthropy, development finance, academia, and industry came together to tackle this challenge. Convened by the Kementerian Kesehatan RI, Asian Development Bank, Rockefeller Foundation, PATH, and The Bridgespan Group, the discussion explores how , MedTech, and digital health can deliver lasting impact.

💡One idea surfaced repeatedly: technology is only one piece of the puzzle.

Sustainable transformation requires strong health systems, enabling policies, sustainable financing, government leadership, and cross-sector collaboration.

Indonesia is demonstrating what’s possible through investments in interoperable systems and partnerships that are helping build a more resilient, equitable, and future-ready health system.
To accelerate progress, we launched the Indonesia Health Network (IHN)—a platform that connects leaders, investors, innovators, and institutions around a shared vision for stronger health systems in Indonesia.

📄In the coming weeks, we’ll share a report highlighting key insights, lessons learned, and pathways for action from the discussion to help advance collaboration across the health ecosystem.

In the meantime, swipe through the highlights and learn how you can be part of this growing network. If you’re interested in helping shape the future of health in Indonesia, we invite you to join the IHN: 🔗 https://forms.gle/JVnCiMr79ra2s2dj7

Integrated mosquito management will be critical to accelerating progress toward malaria elimination.

At the during , hosted by Devex and Valent BioSciences Public Health, PATH’s Tarryn Haslam, Director of Malaria, Neglected Tropical Diseases, and Epidemic Preparedness and Response, joined fellow experts to discuss the importance of combining outdoor mosquito management with innovations in surveillance, vector control, and health system strengthening.

As Tarryn noted, the opportunity is not a single breakthrough technology, but bringing proven tools and approaches together in ways that strengthen health systems and improve health outcomes.
