The award acknowledges outstanding projects which contribute toward improving medical healthcare in developing countries along with those persons from organizations who are responsible for the projects. The award is endowed with 100,000 euros. This year the award honors projects on the topic of “Outreach Services”.
The prize will be awarded to an outreach health services project (mobile clinic, outreach) that reaches people for whom the journey to the nearest health facility is too far, too dangerous, too impassable or too expensive and in which mobile health teams are supported on foot, by vehicle or other means of transport.
Mobile services are provided in every LMIC within the government public health system. Due to a lack of resources and staff, they sometimes only take place irregularly. The proposed project should be so cost-effective and integrated into existing healthcare structures that it can be adopted by the government public health system in its concept. It is intended to provide an example of how basic public healthcare can be strengthened by involving village communities and village health workers. Further education and training are intended to strengthen capacities. Educational and sensitisation measures as well as preventive and curative services are to be offered.
Proposals are encouraged which involve successful projects in OECD DAC-listed and stable countries that are based on partnership. Alongside the high level of quality and innovation on the part of the project, the particular achievement and character displayed by the proposed person responsible for the project is deemed as being of equal value for receiving the award. The project should be implemented by or together with local partners and serve to set an example for projects in this sector.
Please note the information for proposal submission. The deadline for submission is April 21, 2025.
The award ceremony is expected to be held on October 14th 2024 in Berlin.
