at Path

🏢 About Path

Path is a global health organization dedicated to improving health outcomes, particularly in underserved communities. Their focus on tuberculosis (TB) aligns with their mission to innovate and deliver solutions that save lives. Working here means contributing to impactful public health initiatives with a data-driven approach.

About This Role

As a Data Analyst for TB at Path India, you will analyze health data to drive decisions that combat tuberculosis. Your work will directly inform program strategies, track progress, and optimize interventions. This role offers a unique opportunity to apply data skills to a critical global health challenge.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve pulling data from multiple sources (e.g., Nikshay, clinic records) using SQL or Python, then cleaning and analyzing it to identify trends in TB case detection. You'll meet with program teams to understand their data needs, then build a Tableau dashboard to visualize key metrics. Afternoons could be spent writing a report on treatment success rates or presenting findings to stakeholders to inform resource allocation.

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid
