Over 20 years, we and our partners have helped introduce more than 150 health innovations worldwide. Innovation, both in new tools and in how care is delivered, can help strengthen health systems by simplifying care, lowering costs and expanding access to quality services.

For 20 years, we have worked to ensure health innovation reaches people — not just markets. That gap remains central to global health discussions at #WHA79.
