PATH’s Initiatives Have Had A Transformative Impact
Particularly in developing and deploying vaccines for diseases that disproportionately affect impoverished and marginalized communities, such as malaria and rotavirus. They have also pioneered new diagnostic tests and innovative vector control strategies. These efforts have significantly reduced disease prevalence in several regions, saving millions of lives and improving countless others, underscoring the importance of donor support in sustaining and expanding these initiatives.
