Horizon Prize - Birth Day

The Horizon Prize on reducing maternal and newborn morbidity and mortality - the Birth Day Prize - will be awarded to the contestants who demonstrate a novel solution to improve the outcome of facility-based deliveries, which might be of clinical, technological or managerial nature, or a combination of these. Any solution must take full account of relevant social factors and have the potential of scaling up rapidly.

The objective is a demonstrated reduction in maternal and/or newborn morbidity and mortality and/or stillbirth during facility-based deliveries.
