Countries around the world are facing a common crisis: the lack of accessible and affordable health care.
Nations everywhere are facing severe challenges, including fragmented health care ecosystems, high costs, inconsistent quality of care, inefficient systems, and barriers to access. These surprisingly similar obstacles to accessible and affordable health care exist across borders – and so should their solutions.
To catalyze these solutions, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Pioneer Portfolio is partnering with Ashoka Changemakers to launch a new competition: Innovations for Health: Solutions that Cross Borders.
What are we looking for? Simple. We want unique health care solutions that have worked anywhere in the world. But here is the catch: They must have the potential to be applied in other countries. We are most interested in solutions with demonstrated impact, and those with potential to help vulnerable and underserved populations.
Entries will be accepted until February 13, 2012. Three winners will each receive a cash prize of US $10,000. In addition to a chance at prize money, selected entries (operating in the United States and its territories) may also be invited to submit proposals to Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Pioneer Portfolio for future funding consideration.
It’s time to learn from those doing great work in every corner of the world. Submit your solution today.
