COVID-19 has made the need for resilient health systems clear to us all. It is important to have healthcare systems that can continue to provide essential health services, while supporting the medical response needed to tackle the global pandemic. In times like these we have come to realise that healthcare workers are the backbone of any resilient health system.

Now is the time to invest in healthcare workers.

The Africa Young Innovators for Health Award is an opportunity to advance promising solutions to support, equip, protect, and train healthcare workers.
