PATH is an international nonprofit organization that transforms global health through innovation. We take an entrepreneurial approach to developing and delivering high-impact, low-cost solutions, from lifesaving vaccines and devices to collaborative programs with communities. Through our work in more than 70 countries, PATH and our partners empower people to achieve their full potential.
Based within the HIV/AIDS & Tuberculosis Global Program, PATH's Tuberculosis (TB) portfolio consists of a dynamic and growing set of both global and country-focused technical assistance projects. Such projects include supporting DOTS expansion and quality improvement, building the evidence base for successful TB control strategies, laboratory strengthening, TB/HIV service integration, infection control, programmatic management of drug-resistant TB, public-private sector collaboration, introducing and evaluating new tools and diagnostics, and advocacy, communication and social mobilization (ACSM).
Consideration will be given for relocation assistance.
