Mission

Founded in 1977, PATH (Program for Appropriate Technology in Health) is an international organization that creates sustainable, culturally relevant solutions, enabling communities worldwide to break longstanding cycles of poor health. By collaborating with diverse public- and private-sector partners, we help provide appropriate health technologies and vital strategies that change the way people think and act. Our mission is to improve the health of people around the world by advancing technologies, strengthening systems, and encouraging healthy behaviors. Headquartered in Seattle, Washington, PATH has 28 offices in 18 countries, and works in more than 65 countries.
