About PATH's Health Systems Strengthening Vertical

PATH strives to build a world where innovation ensures that health is within reach for everyone. We start by thinking about people. What do children, women, and men need to be healthy? Similarly, what do health workers, managers, and decision-makers need to do their jobs well? How can the information, products, or services that are needed for health best be obtained-not just for today, but for the future?

Innovators are developing new information, products, and services that hold great promise for global health. But this promise can't be realized if solutions can't be delivered. Health systems-that is, the organizations and people whose primary intent is to promote, restore, or maintain health1-are weak in many countries and represent a challenge to achieving health equity. There is an urgent need for energy, support, and creativity to ensure that health systems can deliver effective health interventions.

This focus on systems is a core component of PATH's overall mission to improve the health of people around the world by advancing technologies, strengthening systems, and encouraging healthy behaviors. Our systems work both informs and is informed by our work with technology and behavior change. PATH strengthens health systems to improve the health of people around the world. PATH's health systems vertical is engaged with the following themes:

Primary Health Care Pandemic Preparedness and Surveillance Devices and Diagnostics Supply Chain Management Healthcare Economics and Financing Technology and Innovations Private Sector Engagement Anti-Microbial Resistance and Global Health Security Climate Change Quality Improvement
