Social Innovation in Health Initiative - Philippines

🎉 Congratulations to SIHI Sweden on a successful conference!

Held on 8–9 December at Uppsala University, the SIHI Sweden Conference convened 60 participants from 11 countries with the theme “Advancing Equity in Social Innovation in Health.” The event reinforced SIHI’s shared commitment to improving access to care and reducing health inequities.

Our SIHI Program Lead, Dr. Meredith del Pilar-Labarda, delivered the keynote presentation, emphasising that equity must never be an afterthought in social innovation. Instead, it should be the guiding design principle for innovation, research, and scaling for impact.

Across two dynamic days of presentations, workshops, a poster walk, and meaningful interactions, participants also took part in a collective reflection session to identify concrete next steps for embedding equity more mindfully in their work.

We look forward to continuing this shared work to advance equity in social innovation in health.
