PATH is a global nonprofit founded in 1977 with the mission of achieving health equity worldwide. Since 2011, it has operated in Switzerland through the Foundation for Appropriate Technologies in Health (FATH). By bringing together expertise in science, economics, technology, advocacy, and many other fields, PATH forges multisector partnerships to develop and scale innovative solutions for the world’s most pressing health challenges. Yet billions of people still face inequitable health systems. To close these gaps, PATH advances progress in areas such as epidemic preparedness, antimicrobial resistance, HIV/AIDS, malaria, maternal and newborn health, nutrition, sexual and reproductive health, and tuberculosis. Its work spans vaccines, drugs, medical devices, diagnostics, digital tools, and forward-thinking approaches to strengthening health systems. The team—comprising scientists, epidemiologists, market analysts, engineers, advocates, and other specialists—collaborates to introduce and expand solutions that transform global health outcomes.
PATH has three strategic priorities: 1. Preparing for and responding to emerging health threats 2. Improving lives with science and technology 3. Increasing health system capacity and resilience
PATH programs are based on a thorough assessment of the health needs of resource-poor communities and on our institutional capabilities for implementing appropriate, cost effective, and innovative solutions with our partners. PATH establishes and joins strategic alliances to create synergy through collaboration and to leverage public and private resources to improve global health
