Technologies are a big part of the global health landscape today and innovations are critical to overcome grand challenges in global health. However, this focus on innovation must be accompanied by deliberate efforts to ensure equitable access to life-saving technologies. Innovations must reach those who need it the most, so they can have an impact.
