VIRCHOW FOUNDATION FOR GLOBAL HEALTH

The Virchow Foundation for Global Health is a non-profit foundation that promotes the understanding of global health in all its medical, political, economic, and social dimensions. Through the annual awarding of the Virchow Prize for Global Health, held this year under the high patronage of the German Federal President, it raises public awareness of global health issues and showcases innovative, exemplary solutions that contribute to the long-term goal of “health for all”. In close cooperation with the National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina, the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities, as well as other national and international organisations, the Foundation promotes cross-sectoral and interdisciplinary collaboration in the field of global health – in line with the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations Agenda 2030.
