Driver Job In Zambia – 2/25/2016
PATH is an international organization that drives transformative innovation to save lives and improve health, especially among women and children. The company accelerates innovation across five platforms—vaccines, drugs, diagnostics, devices, system and service innovations—that harness the entrepreneurial insight, scientific and public health expertise, and passion for health equity. By mobilizing partners around the world, PATH take innovation to scale, working alongside countries primarily in Africa and Asia to tackle their greatest health needs. Together, the company deliver measurable results that disrupt the cycle of poor health.
The Better Immunization Data (BID) Initiative’s strategy is based on the premise that better data, plus better decisions, will lead to better health outcomes. Its vision is to empower countries to enhance immunization and overall health service delivery through improved data collection, quality, and use. The BID Initiative will shine a light on the challenges surrounding data collection, quality, and use, and identify practical, country-owned, country-led solutions in immunization that could spread to other health interventions. The Initiative will partner with countries and global health stakeholders to develop and deploy a holistic and scalable approach that focuses on information system products, data management policies, and the practices of people that use them in order to enable evidence-based decision making. These components will be packaged into a replicable solution that can be easily and cost-effectively adapted by additional countries interested in using it to improve their immunization management. If successful, a true tipping point will occur—one in which countries can access, analyze, and act upon accurate immunization data—anytime, anywhere, resulting in improved immunization outcomes.
