Making healthcare financially accessible to low-income people

E4RA23

In the 2023 Entrepreneurs for Resilience Award cycle, we focused on innovative solutions that increase financial access to healthcare in low-income communities. To be eligible for the award, an enterprise had to take a business-minded approach that increases the resources available to households to pay for healthcare and/or that reduces health shocks that lead to poverty or economic vulnerability following a disease or an accident.

The winner, Innovasalud, was selected from among three finalists by the jury at a live event on 20 September 2023.
