Description : PATH is a global health organization dedicated to achieving health equity. With more than 40 years of experience forging multisector partnerships, and with expertise in science, economics, technology, advocacy, and dozens of other specialties, PATH develops and scales up innovative solutions to the world’s most pressing health challenges.
The global health sector is undergoing a digital transformation in its ongoing commitment to solve health challenges and increase health equity.
