The award aims to encourage entrepreneurship and help in developing promising healthcare solutions, and the award is looking for solutions aimed at supporting, equipping, protecting and training health care workers, who are at the forefront of providing health care to societies, as doctors, nurses, pharmacists, nursing assistants and community care Social workers are the critical backbone of well-functioning healthcare systems.
