Despite many years of commitments from national governments and global health partners to improve access to and quality of primary health care, vulnerable populations in lower- and middleincome countries continue to face barriers to achieving better health outcomes.

USAID’s Inclusive Health Access Prize is a global call for proven successes in expanding access to life-saving basic health care in lower- and middle-income countries. The prize aims to celebrate and spur a broad range of innovative approaches by recognizing and incentivizing work that demonstrates how integration and partnership between the public and private sectors improve the accountability, affordability, accessibility, and reliability of essential health care for poor and vulnerable populations.
