WHO Department of Essential Health Technologies
Website: http://www.who.int/medical_devices/call/en/index.html
31 January 2010- Deadline for submission of applications
“…..Medical devices are indispensable in health care delivery as tools for prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation. However, despite the exponential growth of scientific and technological development, availability of and access to appropriate and affordable health technologies in low- and middle-income countries are still insufficient.
One of the goals of the WHO Department of Essential Health Technologies is to help make available the benefits of core health technologies by developing a framework for health technology programmes and by challenging the scientific and business community to identify develop and/or adapt innovative technologies to address global health concerns.
The call for innovative technologies aims at identifying and evaluating innovative medical devices, either existing or under development, which address global health concerns and which are likely to be accessible, appropriate and affordable for use in low- and middle-income countries. …”
