India health innovation contest 2017
George Institute for Global Health India as part of its 10th Anniversary in collaboration with University of New South Wales, Sydney is proud to announce the India Health Innovation Contest 2017. This contest is open for medical and engineering students in India, with a dream to create something new, aspire to make a difference and contribute to India’s success towards becoming a truly healthy nation.
There are very few models of healthcare across the world that meet the needs of citizens. In India, healthcare expenses are also one of the leading causes of poverty as people often incur huge expenses disproportionate to their income and end up in debt for the rest of their lives. This need and opportunity to fix health care through ideas and innovation can transform millions of lives. Models made in India can scale across to impact health of nations world over.
