Dear all,
As some will recall between May and December, a call was announced and developed for the search for solutions (social innovations) implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic in Latin-America and the Caribbean. The selection process carried out by an external panel of experts was completed.
We invite you to learn about the winning initiatives that were recently recognized by PAHO/WHO on the Universal Health Day, December 14, 2021. You will learn about the problem addressed and the solution implemented by the same innovators from Colombia, Brazil, Guatemala and Trinidad and Tobago. It is exciting to learn about the motivations and commitment of the innovators and their team including the communities involved.
