Abstract/Summary: Idea to Impact: A Guide to Introduction and Scale of Global Health Innovations consolidates and shares best practices and lessons learned from decades of scaling global health innovations and draws on best practices from the private sector, while offering a dynamic and flexible home for new thinking and advancements still to come. Many of the insights and examples are heavily informed by the learnings and practices of private companies, non-governmental organizations, academia, USAID and other donors, and other public health experts.
This Guide was designed for the global health community, including USAID and other donors working at the global level who oversee grants and manage deliverables, and implementing partners who contribute to global development, introduction, and scale-up efforts of global health products. It can also inform social entrepreneurs and innovators, as well as commercial partners, such as medical device and pharmaceutical companies expanding into Southeast Asia and sub-Saharan Africa—home to some of the fastest growing health care markets in the world. Generally, the principles in this Guide can be applied to any global health product, whether a device, drug, diagnostic, vaccine, or consumer product.
