PATH is a global nonprofit dedicated to achieving health equity. With more than 40 years of experience forging multisector partnerships, and with expertise in science, economics, technology, advocacy, and dozens of other specialties, PATH develops and scales up innovative solutions to the world’s most pressing health challenges.

PATH is implementing Digital Square project in Vietnam, a partnership of the world’s leading digital health experts working together with countries to strengthen digital health systems. In pursuit of our Mission: connect health leaders with the resources necessary for digital transformation, Digital Square offers a new way to invest in digital health—providing a space where countries and members of the global community can gather to think big and do good, together. By convening government officials, technological innovators, donor and implementation partners, and others across borders and boundaries in the Digital Square, we can grow possibility into reality by focusing on our common goal: connecting the world for better health. Digital Square works in three key ways:

Co-investment: We coordinate investments in digital health to maximize the impact of every dollar spent.

Global goods: We scale tools and technologies that can be adapted to different countries and contexts.

Digital market readiness: We create digital market readiness by building capacity with governments, local technology developers, and health workers.
