Innovations in Healthcare (founded as the International Partnership for Innovative Healthcare Delivery) was formally launched in 2011 after two years of research and planning, led by Duke Medicine and McKinsey & Company through the World Economic Forum, on how best to support the scale and replication of innovative solutions for healthcare. We are:
- Inspired by the promise of healthcare innovations
- Supported by leading public and private sector organizations
- Driving collaborations to scale and replicate innovations in healthcare
Co-founded by Duke Medicine, McKinsey & Company, and the World Economic Forum, Innovations in Healthcare is hosted at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. In a short period of time we have developed strong partnerships with leading healthcare innovators, corporations, foundations, and government organizations around the world, which together are committed to scaling and replicating innovations with the potential to solve the most pressing healthcare challenges.
Some of our key milestones are shown below.
