Today, is #WorldHepatitisDay! July also marks the end of a two-year study to assess the accessibility and usability of #HepC self-testing in India. Part of the Unitaid-funded, Population Services International-led STAR III initiative, this study culminated in insights critical for India’s journey to end hepatitis C in the country by 2030. To commemorate the end of the study, our team in India and JDot Productions put together two short films featuring perspectives from the study team at PATH, SAATHII, and SHALOM and stakeholders, including community advisory board members, from Mizoram and Uttar Pradesh.

Mothers who are infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV), HIV, or syphilis can pass these viruses to their babies during pregnancy, childbirth, or while breastfeeding. Each year, more than 180,000 newborn babies in the Asia-Pacific region are infected with HBV, 13,000 with syphilis, and 1,400 with HIV through mother-to-child transmission. #ItsTimeforAction In Vietnam, screening pregnant women for these diseases is not a standard component of MNCH or antenatal care services. To support the country's #TripleElimination goals, PATH teamed up with The Hepatitis Fund, Ville de Genève, and private-sector partners in 2022 to demonstrate a scalable and cost-effective model for preventing mother-to-child transmission in Nghe An Province. On July 16, the Nghe An Department of Health and PATH held a dissemination workshop, where we shared results and implemented an action plan to eliminate mother-to-child transmission of HIV, HBV, and syphilis in Nghe An by 2030.

“One Health is not just a theory; if we don’t get it right, the risk of new epidemics and pandemics will multiply. The stakes are very high for us, but even higher for those who are the most vulnerable.” In his opening remarks at an event convened in partnership with The Commonwealth, PATH President and CEO Nikolaj Gilbert stressed the importance of the #OneHealth approach for advancing action that mitigates the impacts of climate change on health. The event—“One Health approach: moving from siloed thinking to smart and systemic action”—brought together global leaders, policymakers, and experts to confront the critical intersection of human, animal, and environmental health amid the climate crisis. 🌏 Climate change is now a factor in every aspect of public health, and countries with the weakest health infrastructure are the most at risk. To achieve our goal of universal health coverage, we’ll need climate-resilient health systems, effective disease surveillance, and collaboration across sectors.

The World Health Organization estimates that 58 million people are living with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV). HCV disproportionately affects people who inject drugs and people in prison, who are often highly marginalized and vulnerable. Globally, 39% of people who inject drugs and 26% of people in prison have an active HCV infection. #ItsTimeforAction Prevention, testing, and treatment products for HCV are highly effective, but most people in low- and middle-income countries can't access them. With support from Unitaid, and in partnership with Population Services International, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, U. of London, University of Bristol, The Hepatitis Fund, and Medicines Patent Pool, we're working alongside country stakeholders to address these barriers. Through the HCV Combination Prevention in PWID and Prisoners Project (HEPC3P), we aim to accelerate uptake of HCV prevention and treatment services among these high-risk groups in India, Nigeria, South Africa, Ukraine, and Vietnam.

🌍 PATH, with support from Unitaid and in collaboration with Population Services International, concludes the National Dissemination Event for the STAR III Hepatitis C #SelfTesting project! This week's event was filled with insightful discussions and meaningful recommendations from our panelists and speakers. Key takeaways: ☑ High acceptability and usability of hepatitis C virus (HCV) self-test kits among people who inject drugs and at-risk populations in both Mizoram and Uttar Pradesh. ☑ Emphasis on increasing awareness about hepatitis C, with a significant portion of the population currently unaware of the disease. ☑ Enhanced self-risk perception for HCV infection through personalized counseling and mass awareness programs. ☑ Availability of both blood-based and saliva-based self-test kits to meet participant preferences. ☑ Saliva-based kits show promise for unassisted use, emphasizing the need for their availability and approval by relevant authorities. ☑ Inclusion of information on ancillary services like counseling and confirmatory testing in the self-test kits to address participants' concerns about testing and disclosure. Thank you to our partners for their continuous support. Together, we are making concerted efforts towards eliminating #HepatitisC by 2030. 💪 #ItsTimeforAction #WorldHepatitisDay SAATHII The World Hepatitis Alliance asha hegde Saravanamurthy P.

📰 Just in! The virtual model for HIV self-testing distribution, implemented by PATH in India through the STAR HIVST project, has been featured in the World Health Organization's new guidelines on HIV testing services launched at the International AIDS Conference in Munich. Virtual interventions will go a long way in ensuring early diagnoses and treatment of HIV, along with improved quality of life for affected key populations.

Excited to share the first of many success stories from PMI REACH Malaria’s work to support planning, delivery and monitoring of malaria prevention and service delivery! Our team is proud to have supported the #Togo PNLP in delivering not only Plateaux Region’s first-ever #SMC campaign, but also PMI’s first SMC activity in Togo. By the time the campaign ends in September, more than 2.8 million doses of life-saving preventative medication will have been delivered to protect more than 550,000 children. Congratulations to our Catholic Relief Services colleagues for their hard work to help organize this campaign so quickly and thank you to our PMI COR team for their support! https://lnkd.in/es2-yEmV #endmalaria #ZMSWM #zeropalu PATH, Suzanne Van Hulle, Momar MBODJI

As the Ghana Health Service’s Training/Project Coordinator for the Bono East Region, Joana Yinpaab Duubon has played a central role in the Integrated #AntenatalCare (ANC) project, a collaboration with PATH that’s improving how maternal infections are diagnosed and managed during pregnancy. In Bono East, the project expanded infectious disease screening and treatment among pregnant women during antenatal visits. This includes testing for conditions like hepatitis B, urinary tract infections, group B streptococcus, and sexually transmitted infections. “Any health issue that destabilizes pregnant women and their children is of concern to me," Joana says. "The integrated ANC approach prevents infections for better outcomes and helps to prevent premature deliveries and stillbirths.” Between November 2022 and March 2024, the project trained nearly 700 providers on improved screening and management of maternal infections and screened 24,000 pregnant women. Now, PATH and the GHS are developing a roadmap for national scale-up. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3LBulSW #MNCH #MaternalHealth #NewbornHealth #ChildHealth #EndHepNow

To improve care for people living with #HIV, Ukraine aims to deliver a guaranteed package of services at the primary health care level. But are PHC facilities in Ukraine prepared to offer person-centered, integrated HIV services? And if not, what do they need to get there? 🚗 We traveled the country to find out. The PATH-led, USAID-funded Re-envisioning Excellence and Accessibility in Clinic-based HIV Services (REACH 95) Activity is working with the government of Ukraine to increase equitable access to high-quality HIV care. To kick off the project, our team visited 62 health care facilities in 16 regions to conduct in-person and virtual baseline assessments on the current landscape of HIV service delivery, as well as gaps and needs. REACH 95’s goal is in its name: ensuring that 95% of people living with HIV know their HIV status, 95% of people who know their status are receiving HIV treatment, and 95% of people on treatment are virally suppressed by 2030. In Ukraine, reaching these targets is possible.
