The World Innovation Summit for Health (WISH) recently presented its research on Investing in Health to the third annual Health Innovation Week, held in Mexico City, Mexico. Dean Jamison, Professor Emeritus in the Department of Global Health and Chairperson of the WISH 2016 Forum ‘Investing in Health’, spoke at the event.
Health Innovation Week is organized annually by the Mexican Association of Pharmaceutical Research Industries (AMIIF) and is intended to promote a broader discussion of health issues. The topic of this year’s event was the role of health innovation to promote growth.
Every dollar invested in decreasing mortality from infections, as well as infant and maternal mortality in low- and middle-income countries, can generate profits up to $20, in the next 20 years.
