Detailed Premise
The world needs constant innovation in public health to ensure a better life for everyone. Globally, we have seen tremendous focus on, and financial resources being put into developing innovations in the health care sector. While this is a welcome trend, and investment in early stage innovation is the need of the hour, it is equally important to address the challenges that stand in the way of scaling up innovative products – from the prototype stage to the market ready stage - where they can have widespread impact. It is in fact critical that scale up plans of health innovations be considered from the inception stage itself. The world needs rapidly scalable and affordable healthcare innovations more than ever. Now is the time to reduce the roadblocks in an innovation journey and bring together creative minds and specialized solutions to help life-saving innovations scale globally.
