PATH
PATH is a global organization that works to accelerate health equity by bringing together public institutions, businesses, social enterprises, and investors to solve the world’s most pressing health challenges. With expertise in science, health, economics, technology, advocacy, and dozens of other specialties, PATH develops and scales solutions—including vaccines, drugs, devices, diagnostics, and innovative approaches to strengthening health systems worldwide. To achieve scale, PATH works with organizations and countries at the global and local levels to strengthen links among procurement activities, financing mechanisms, and logistics and distribution systems. This includes developing technical specifications, prequalifying products, issuing bids, negotiating and managing contracts, arranging logistics, and monitoring supplier performance. Our work helps countries ensure that health commodities are safe, effective, and available at an affordable price, enabling countries to get the maximum value from scarce health care dollars.
