The SDGs are interconnected and complex, and require an integrated response. As a discipline focused on solving complex problems, creating new opportunities, and accelerating positive change, innovation is essential to win the SDG race. Holistic, systemic, and human-centred innovative solutions and approaches play a crucial role by offering impactful and scalable pathways to accelerate results.
As such, innovation is a strong ally in building more resilient, sustainable, and inclusive health systems for children to survive and thrive. Innovative solutions and approaches can help inclusively deliver access to healthcare services for children and their communities by tackling the root barriers and challenges in health systems – from the lack of quality and timely data for decision-making, to challenges in access to healthcare facilities and trained medical personnel for communities in remote or rural areas, to the rising cost of healthcare services for families everywhere.
