World Health Innovation Forum 2023: Scaling grassroots innovations for sustainable NCD responses

From 14 to 16 November 2023, the World Health Organization’s Innovation Hub and the WHO Collaborating Centre for Health Innovations are co-hosting the landmark World Health Innovation Forum. Convening experts from around the world, the Forum explores multidisciplinary approaches to drive innovation in health service delivery, accessibility and quality to achieve health for all. WHO’s NCD Lab, a platform supporting promising grassroots innovations to achieve scale through knowledge collaboration, capacity-building and strategic partnerships, is participating at the forum at a dedicated panel and an information stand.

The Forum’s 3-day programme is based on the six stages of the Mountain Model for scaling up health innovations through the public sector. Created by the global nonprofit organization Results for Development (R4D), the model aims to support national and local governments in low- and middle-income countries to scale innovations that are aligned with their health priorities. Using the metaphor of climbing a mountain, the model highlights the different kinds of support governments need and interventions required at key points along the demand and scaling journey.
