About the Program 

The PNG Australia Transition to Health (PATH) is a five-year (2020-2025) health sector program funded by the Australian Government under the Papua New Guinea – Australia Partnership for Development. PATH works with the PNG Government to improve coverage and quality of health services for the people of PNG through effective, equitable, efficient, and inclusive interventions. 

Guided by the National Department of Health (NDoH), Provincial Health Authorities (PHAs) and the Bougainville Department of Health (BDoH) are responsible for the delivery of health services across PNG.

PATH assists NDoH, PHAs and BDoH to strengthen systems for health service delivery targeting infectious diseases, and reproductive, maternal, newborn child and adolescent health, with a focus on promoting women’s leadership.

PATH’s end of investment outcomes (EOIO) are: 

1. PHAs more able to lead provincial health reform and manage effective, efficient, equitable and quality essential health services in selected provinces. 
2. DFAT-funded health services are demonstrating efficient and effective models of service delivery, influencing Provincial Health Authority (PHA) performance; and building sustainability by transitioning to PHA management in selected provinces. 

PATH’s intermediate outcomes (IOs) are: Provincial Health Authority Capacity, Accountability, Women in Leadership, Essential Services, and Health Security and Pandemic Response.  

PATH is a locally led, adaptive, and politically informed program that seeks to maintain flexibility to respond to changing and local circumstances over the life of the program.
