Healthcare is changing rapidly. New technologies, emerging health needs and evolving models of care are creating opportunities to rethink how health challenges are understood and addressed.
Amref Health Innovation Hub at Amref International University (AMIU) provides a platform for innovators, entrepreneurs, researchers, professionals, mentors and partners to collaborate around health innovation.
The Hub supports the journey from identifying a health challenge and developing an idea to testing, strengthening and scaling solutions with the potential to create meaningful health impact.
