The state think tank Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS), in partnership with the Center for Health Market Innovations (CHMI), is launching the Galing Likha-Kalusugan Awards this November to confer distinction and honor to public and private organizations that best exemplify the highest level of innovation in the countrys health marketplace.

The Galing Likha-Kalusugan Award is the first of its kind for the countrys healthcare sector as it pays tribute and recognizes innovations in health market that have produced positive impacts and have helped address a particular problem or issue in the countrys health system. As such, the award hopes to be the stamp for excellence and innovation in the field of healthcare delivery, finance, facilitation, regulation, and promotion. In addition, this initiative hopes to promote and encourage creative and fresh approaches and solutions to the countrys healthcare problems.

CHMI is an international global network that identifies, analyzes and connects innovative health programs around the world in the hope of improving health protection for the poor and disadvantaged. Thus, the Center scouts worldwide for programs that change how transaction occurs in the health marketplace and that can be scaled up and replicated in other regions of the world. In the Philippines, CHMI has collaborated with the PIDS in setting up a local hub of researchers who will identify and document innovative health programs and policies.
