MSF Sweden Innovation Unit
The MSF Sweden Innovation Unit works to promote a culture of innovation within Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF). Together with colleagues across the world, we design and support innovations that save lives and alleviate suffering.
Accelerating humanitarian health innovation
Our Work
We work to source, support and drive innovations that help solve challenges in Médecins Sans Frontières projects, to ultimately give people better access to medical care. Our efforts are focused on three, often inter-related, topics: digital health, process innovation and planetary health.
-
Digital health tools have the potential to improve healthcare access and quality of care. Today, the application of these tools is still lagging in low- and middle-income countries, despite growing unmet health needs especially in humanitarian settings. We work to support and promote the use of digital tools in the contexts where MSF works, especially focusing on support tools for our patients.

Some issues require new tools – others are better tackled through changes to existing practices and new ways of workings. Inclusive Innovation uses participatory approaches to support colleagues in MSF projects, patients, and local communities to identify issues in existing services and co-creating solutions for positive long-standing change.
