It’s exciting to see this trend in action in India, which is emerging as a leader in developing tools that improve health care. One initiative that speaks to the promise of national innovation is Grand Challenges India. Grand Challenges India also tackles connected issues like food security, nutrition and agriculture. Grand Challenges India recently joined forces with similar initiatives in Brazil and Africa to address antimicrobial resistance, which threatens the effectiveness of drugs that people rely on to treat tuberculosis, malaria and many other illnesses. Grand Challenges India is fostering innovations that will help people in India and around the world lead better lives.
