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
Euro 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.
