Health Innovations – Transforming through Pandemics

The forum happened on Wednesday May 27th, 2020 11:30 - 13:00 CET online

First the IFRC Health department director, Emanuele Capobianco, talked about how pandemics have transformed organisations and the world throughout history. Then people were able to choose one of the smaller breakout rooms to discuss a theme more profoundly. People from all around the planet shared their innovative approached to COVID-19 health responses, while designers Alice, Anna, Stefanie & Mari Eline listened and illustrated the insights.
