Change in Health Awards
Change in Health Awards
More than a competition: the transformation showcase of the healthcare sector.
The Change in Health Awards were created to give visibility to projects driving transformation in healthcare, to encourage applicable and measurable good practices, and to help successful projects spread across the sector.
Evaluation is based not only on the idea, but on the project's applicability, measurable impact and potential to be scaled.
