Driving health innovation in Asia-Pacific and beyond
The Asia-Pacific region faces pressing health challenges from pollution, overpopulation, inequality, and climate change which strain health systems and threaten social wellbeing.
At the same time, breakthroughs in biological sciences, digital technologies, and policy are transforming global health. Innovations – like the rapid development of COVID-19 vaccines – show the potential for fast-tracked solutions.
Yet, despite this potential, Asia-Pacific at large struggles to adopt new healthcare technologies due to limited resources, regulatory barriers, and gaps in innovation capacity. These challenges impact key areas such as maternal, newborn and child health, infectious disease response, and the growing burden of non-communicable diseases.
We work with regional and global partners to accelerate high-impact health innovations. By supporting the design, testing, implementation and scaling of new solutions, we aim to overcome systemic barriers and drive transformative healthcare advancements. Our work spans policy, strategy, research, evidence generation and integration — ensuring sustainable impact across diverse health systems.
