The World Health Organization (WHO) in the African Region will soon launch the WHO Africa Innovation Challenge calling for innovations research and community initiatives that provide new solutions to improving access to healthcare in Africa.

The Innovation Challenge is scheduled to be launched on 19 October 2018 for a month closing on 19 November 2018.

It will source, select and profile innovative healthcare solutions which can be scaled-up and enhance the quality of life of people in the African region. The three submission categories are Product Innovation, Service Innovation and Social Innovation. There will be a dedicated web site which will highlight these healthcare innovations.

Entries will be assessed by a panel of independent evaluators based on the innovation’s potential impact on the health in Africa as well possibility of being replicated or scaled-up. The launch of this Challenge and platform serves as a precursor to the Africa Health Forum in Cape Verde in March 2019, the premier gathering of political and business leaders in the region devoted to health.

Finalists will be awarded a sponsored opportunity for their innovations to be showcased at the Africa Health Forum where they will get the opportunity to profile their solutions and meet with top political, government and business leaders in the health space.

The platform to submit entries will be available on this site on the day of the launch.
