Young people are shaping ’s future, but their health is under growing pressure.

Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading cause of death and are increasingly affecting the younger generations. That is why the Ministry of Education and Training, together with PATH and with support from Fondation Botnar, has launched Fit for the Future Phase II.

Phase 1 of the program—Vietnam’s first school-based education model for NCD prevention—reached more than 29,000 students across Hai Phong, Quang Ninh, and Da Nang.

Now the program is expanding with digital learning tools, student-led activities, and a strong focus on mental health.

Da Nang kicked off Phase II on April 16, bringing together schools, local leaders, and partners to advance this work forward.

Too often, women carry the burden of broken health care. PATH is working to change that—making care simpler, more accessible, and more effective, so a woman can get what she needs in one visit, closer to home.

We’re proud to share the PATH Kenya Annual Report 2025: a reflection of what’s possible when government-led, strong partnerships, resilient systems, and community-centered approaches come together to advance .

In a year defined by both progress and pressure, Kenya’s health sector continued to move forward—driven by government leadership, frontline health workers, and the communities we serve.

Together with partners, PATH Kenya contributed to:
💉 16.1 million children reached through immunization campaigns
🎗️ 330,000+ people accessing HIV testing services
💓 91,000+ individuals linked to lifesaving HIV treatment
🤰 All 47 counties gaining access to critical maternal health commodities
🏥 Strengthened primary health care systems, digital innovation, and oxygen ecosystems nationwide

But beyond the numbers, this report tells a deeper story—of systems being strengthened, policies shaping access, and innovations improving care where it matters most.

From schoolyards in Lalitpur to community runs in Sanepa, sport is changing lives in 🏃

Through the Community Sport and Health Cooperation Initiative, a collaboration between the International Olympic Committee, World Health Organization (WHO), and PATH, over 160 students recently competed in inter-school sports events, and 350 community members laced up their shoes for the Community Run.

This initiative is about bringing communities together to move, to lead, to share, to enjoy good health. It’s about building a scalable, locally owned model that integrates physical activity into schools, health facilities, and municipal planning, and ultimately reducing the burden of noncommunicable diseases.

As one student put it: “Events like this motivate us to work hard and even dream of becoming national or international players in the future.”

The initiative is now active in five countries (Ghana, Tanzania, Vietnam, Nepal, and Peru) as part of the IOC’s Strategy. Nepal is showing what’s possible when health, education, sport, and government work together.

There’s a form of that can hide in the liver for years, lying dormant before reawakening and causing repeated cycles of illness.

One-third of the world’s population is at risk of this form of the disease, known as relapsing vivax malaria, and it has long been tough to treat.

Over the past five years, the Partnership for Vivax Elimination (PAVE) has been working to change this, through the introduction of new tools and medicines to prevent relapse.

Led by MMV and PATH, the partnership also supported a series of feasibility studies to generate real-world evidence, helping influence treatment policy and guide the scale-up of these tools in endemic countries.

A new lessons learned document captures insights from these studies, offering practical guidance for countries looking to accelerate elimination.

Could an AI “co-scientist” help accelerate vaccine development? 🔬

PATH is investigating how new AI tools could help identify potential immune biomarkers that signal protection against disease. Identifying these biomarkers can help speed vaccine development by more rapidly and reliably determining whether new candidates will be effective.

When it comes to vaccines, AI can’t replace scientific expertise. But AI co-scientists may be able to help synthesize large amounts of data, generate hypotheses, and even spot patterns that humans may have missed, making them an exciting new tool for vaccine researchers.

Medical oxygen saves lives—but only if it is available when patients need it.

Fixing the global oxygen crisis takes more than equipment. It requires strong policies, effective advocacy, and systems innovation.

Around the world, PATH has partnered with countries to strengthen national plans, shape context-specific policies, and secure long-term access to .

Kenya is a powerful example of how collaboration and advocacy can drive lasting change.
