The Democratic Republic of the Congo has faced Ebola outbreaks 17 times. In most cases, responders could rely on proven tools, including licensed vaccines and approved therapies.

This time, the challenge is different.

As Ebola response efforts continue in the DRC and Uganda, PATH, Africa CDC, and partners are helping strengthen outbreak response, support research, and advance preparedness in the face of a strain with no approved vaccine.

🌍Through a four-year partnership led by Jhpiego, in partnership with PATH, Kenya’s Ministry of Health, and FIGO, Makueni County in is showing what progress in maternal health can look like in practice. ✨

The initiative helped strengthen access to lifesaving care for women experiencing postpartum hemorrhage.

In 2023 and 2024, public facilities in Makueni reported zero deaths from postpartum hemorrhage, down from 12 deaths in 2022.

What’s driving change:
🎯Most women received a medicine that helps prevent severe bleeding after childbirth.
🎯Every woman who experienced severe bleeding received fast, lifesaving treatment.

Today, all 47 counties in Kenya now have access to these lifesaving medicines—helping protect more mothers across the country.

These results were shared during a national learning meeting convened by the Kenya Ministry of Health, and point to the importance of strong local leadership, trained health workers, reliable supplies, and timely care.

Makueni offers a clear lesson. When care is timely, coordinated, and well-supported, maternal deaths can be prevented.

Imagine protecting children against multiple diseases with fewer shots and simpler vaccination visits. That’s the promise of combination vaccines.

Combination vaccines can help make immunization programs easier for families, health workers, and health systems, while also creating opportunities to introduce new vaccines more efficiently. But until now, decision-makers have lacked clear tools to fully measure the economic value and potential impact of combination vaccines.

In a new article, PATH’s Allison Clifford explores how a new tool developed with the World Health Organization (WHO) can support more informed combination vaccine decision-making.

📢 officially launched the One Health for Cambodia (OH4CAM) initiative — a five-year national program supported by the German government through KfW and implemented with support from PATH’s Southeast Asia Hub.

The initiative marks a major milestone in strengthening Cambodia’s preparedness and response to health threats across people, animals, and the environment through strong multisectoral coordination and investment in health security systems.

Key launch milestones and planned investments include:
🎯EUR 2.5 million+ in direct-award agreements signed between three ministries and four international technical partners.
🎯Investment in integrated surveillance and rapid outbreak response systems .
🎯Strengthening laboratory systems and digital health platforms.
🎯Renovation of Cambodia’s first One Health Laboratory in Battambang province.
🎯Development of the country’s first integrated One Health Data Platform.

Led by Cambodia’s Inter-Ministerial Coordination Committee for One Health, the initiative brings together the Ministries of Health, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, and Environment alongside development partners and technical institutions, to address emerging public health threats, including zoonotic diseases and antimicrobial resistance.

For PATH, OH4CAM represents an important anchor initiative that strengthens regional partnerships and advances One Health efforts across Southeast Asia.

What if AI could help bring lifesaving products and vaccines to people faster? 🔬 💻

PATH is proud to be an early user of Google’s Hypothesis Generation tool, built with Co-Scientist—an AI-powered brainstorming partner designed to explore promising new scientific methods and ideas more quickly using existing scientific literature and data.

PATH researchers have been using the tool to identify immune biomarkers that could potentially serve as “correlates of protection” (CoPs) for rotavirus to help accelerate vaccine development. CoPs can eliminate the need for lengthy and expensive clinical trials by more quickly and reliably determining whether new candidates will be effective.

As a next step, we’re carefully reviewing these rotavirus CoP hypotheses and selecting one or more to validate in the lab—pairing frontier AI tools with PATH’s decades of scientific expertise.

In , movement is helping communities reconnect after COVID-19 isolation.

Through PATH’s Community Sport and Health Cooperation Initiative with the Olympics, local municipalities in Lima are creating inclusive spaces where residents of all ages and abilities can stay active, build relationships, and support their well-being.

The initiative is part of the IOC’s Olympism365 strategy and is being implemented across Ghana, Tanzania, Vietnam, Nepal, and Peru to help embed physical activity into schools, communities, and health systems and make movement more accessible to all.

The results are already showing impact. Across these five countries, the proportion of adults meeting the World Health Organization (WHO) physical activity guidelines rose from 25% to 63%. For Milagros, a young woman with Down syndrome, the prolonged isolation reversed years of social progress. Milagros now joins dance and physical activity sessions supported by her local municipal disability services office. As her mother shares: “My daughter was completely lost because of COVID-19, but thanks to this program, she is moving forward again.”

These stories remind us that community-based physical activity is about more than exercise. It strengthens mental and physical health, restores dignity, and helps ensure no one is left behind.

Watch the video to see how movement is helping communities reconnect.
