Improving Health Provider Hand Hygiene Challenge
Awards up to $30,000 for hand-hygiene solutions built for low-resource healthcare settings.
Each of the two categories carries its own $15,000 pool, and a separate $1,000 award recognizes a WIN Scout who refers a suitable partner rather than submitting a solution. A submission has to pass five must-have requirements: it enables hand hygiene at the WHO's five moments (effectiveness), stays within the per-category cost cap measured as cost-per-healthcare-worker (value for money), works wit…
IRC is looking for existing technologies or novel designs that increase compliance with the WHO's 5 moments for hand hygiene in healthcare settings without reliable running water or supply chains. Submissions can be at any technology readiness level, from early concepts through production-ready solutions, and must work in low-resource contexts worldwide.
