The nomination phase of the newly established Virchow Prize for
Global Health has begun. This major international award honours
outstanding achievements towards addressing today's complex health
challenges. The Prize is awarded annually in Berlin, with the
inaugural ceremony held 15 October 2022, on the eve of the World
Health Summit.
The Virchow Prize for Global Health aims to incentivize and
spur great minds in their commitment to global health. Laureates
will be awarded an endowment of €500,000 for their longstanding
contributions towards improving health and well-being for all.
Eligible are individuals, organisations, or institutions who
have made significant contributions towards strengthening health
worldwide - whether through long-standing scientific, academic,
political, humanitarian, social, research or economic engagement,
in line with the United Nations 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development
Goals.
Each year, the official announcement of the Virchow Prize for
Global Health laureates is released on 13 October, the birthday of
Rudolf Virchow. Virchow united in one person the interdisciplinary
and humanistic concept of well-being, while serving as a role model
in overcoming complexity and bridging challenges to improve health
at a global scale.
By establishing and granting the Virchow Prize for Global
Health, the Virchow Foundation for Global Health strives to raise
awareness of current global health issues and to award achievements
which significantly improve the impact on the broad health
challenges we face today. The Foundation was established with
support of the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina and
Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities, alongside
civil society and leading experts within global health.
