GHII was awarded the Social Impact Award at the inaugural Innovation and Entrepreneurship Fair.
The event, organized by the Malawi Confederation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry (MCCCI) and the National Commission for Science and Technology (NCST), brought together the brightest minds in the region to showcase solutions for the future.
Our winning initiative, the Computer on Wheels (CoWs), was recognized for its transformative impact on the health sector. By streamlining data management and bringing digital tools directly to the bedside, the CoWs are:
Improving the accuracy of patient records.
Enhancing real-time clinical decision-making.
Reducing the administrative burden on healthcare workers.
GHII also showcased our Neonatal Oxygen Concentrator and Oxygen Analyzer. These innovations are specifically designed to save lives in resource-constrained environments.
