PATH, a catalyst for global health, is an international nonprofit that creates sustainable, culturally relevant solutions enabling communities worldwide to break longstanding cycles of poor health. Reaching more than 70 countries, PATH responds to the spectrum of global health needs with a focus on: solutions for emerging and epidemic diseases like AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria; health technologies designed for and by the people who will use them in resource-constrained settings; safer childbirth and healthy children; health equity for women; and vaccines for women and children around the world. PATH provides both short- and long-term TB technical assistance to high burden countries across the globe in the areas of DOTS expansion, MDR-TB control, TB/HIV integrated programming, advocacy, communication, and social mobilization, laboratory strengthening, and public-private mix.
