This prestigious honor is conferred upon an individual, group or organization that has made significant and innovative contributions to advancing global health.
“The work that Critical Path Institute has done through its programs has led to the development of tools and approaches to solve some of the most critical challenges in the product development pathway, including the need for aggregated data, and a platform for communication and collaboration,” wrote DIA representatives Anna McDermott-Vitak, Senior Vice President and Managing Director, Americas; and Stephanie Crawford, Ph.D., Chair, Americas Regional Advisory Council.
