Greetings from Ashoka Changemakers!

We have partnered with Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Pioneer Portfolio to launch the international competition, Innovations for Health: Solutions that Cross Borders.

South Asia has many great solutions but we need to reach out to these organizations and individuals to make them aware of the competition. <http://tinyurl.com/healthchangemakers>

I request you to help us spread the word (through social media, or by sending us recommendations and nominations).

We are looking for innovations that:
•       create new solutions that adress age-old challenges in entirely new ways;
•       generate health products, services, and information that is being distributed to more and more people;
•       design simple and accessible interventions that can become part of an individual’s lifestyle;
•       find innovative ways to lower costs to the consumer or the marketplace;
•       create interventions and models that are more tailored and appropriate for patients.

The competition is an online one. Register for free to enter your idea here: changemakers.com/innovations4health.

The 3 winning solutions will win a prize of US $10,000 each. Two early entries (submitted by December 12 at 5pm EDT) are each eligible for an additional US $500 prize and a private consulting session with industry experts.
The final deadline for entries is February 13.

Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.

I look forward to hearing from you!
Regards,
