PATH is an international organization that drives
transformative innovation to save lives and improve health, especially among
women and children. We accelerate innovation across five platforms—vaccines,
drugs, diagnostics, devices, and system and service innovations—that harness
our entrepreneurial insight, scientific and public health expertise, and
passion for health equity. By mobilizing partners around the world, we take
innovation to scale, working alongside countries primarily in Africa and Asia
to tackle their greatest health needs. Together, we deliver measurable results
that disrupt the cycle of poor health.

facilities, District Community Medical Offices (DCMO), Provincial Medical
Offices (PMO), the private sector, and cooperating partners to scale-up and
maintain internationally accepted strategies to fight malaria. The Malaria
Technical Director will be based in Zambia.
