Else Kröner Fresenius Award for Development Cooperation in Medicine 2022
The award acknowledges outstanding projects which contribute toward improving medical healthcare in developing countries along with those persons from organizations who are responsible for the projects. The award is endowed with 100,000 euros. This year the award honors projects on the topic of “Sustainable Surgical Healthcare.”
On a worldwide scale, an estimated 30 percent of all illnesses must be treated surgically. Roughly five billion people, primarily in resource-poor countries, have no access to primary surgical healthcare.
