MSF Sweden Innovation Unit Round-Up 2022

Since the launch of the MSF Sweden Innovation Unit 10 years ago (first as a project and then formalised into a unit in 2015), our goal has been to support and promote innovation efforts across the MSF Movement. 

Over the years, we have worked on diverse initiatives, ranging from technical solutions to activities aimed at encouraging behaviour change, and come to realise that the most successful innovations have one thing in common – collaboration. Every step of the innovation process – from framing the challenge/problem and developing a contextually and culturally appropriate solution to implementing and evaluating the new product or process – benefits from people with diverse backgrounds and expertise working together.  

In 2022, our work was guided by a strong ambition to co-create and drive initiatives with colleagues across MSF, and we worked to strengthen existing partnerships and forge new collaborations. The MSF Sweden Innovation Unit Round-Up 2022 summarises the main projects and initiatives we worked on during the last year and key lessons learned derived from this work.  

The document includes a series of case studies and insights into how they relate to the unit’s transversal focus area – democratisation of innovation – and our two thematic focus areas, digital health and planetary health.
