Call for nominations of innovative initiatives

Posted in NGO and IGO action, Workplace health on 16th August, 2010 | no responses

The first International Health Promotion Awards Symposium will be held in Rome on 6–7 December 2010, to highlight best practice and reward innovation in health. There are two major categories, which will be judged by an expert panel of health care professionals and policymakers. Each category will have six finalists, who will present their initiatives at the Symposium:

  • The International Community Health Awards are for organisations whose ideas in health promotion and disease prevention have made a significant contribution to improving the well-being of individuals and local communities.  Each initiative will receive a $5,000 towards continuing their work.
  • The International Workplace Health Awards will highlight workplace health-promotion initiatives that have successfully improved health and reduced disease risk.

The awards have been established by URAC and the Global Knowledge Exchange Network on Health (GKEN). The deadline for submitting nominations is 3 September. For more information, visit www.aihpa.org
