The Healthcare Innovation Award

About


The Healthcare Innovation Award contributes to an ambitious partnership between GSK and Save the Children, which aims to save the lives of a million of the world’s poorest children. GSK and Save the Children today announced the launch of their Healthcare Innovation Award at the Partnership for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health meeting in South Africa.

The remaining funds will be made available for runners-up awards as directed by the judging panel. The award aims to provide a platform for winning organizations to showcase their innovations and share information with others interested in improving healthcare for children in some of the world’s poorest countries.
