There would be fewer health innovations for refugee populations
The issues faced by displaced communities are deep-rooted, complex, and multifaceted. And according to Hundal, who is also the co-founder of the Azal Trust, an international 501(c)(3) nonprofit working on digital and clinical solutions to streamline healthcare access for refugees, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation’s work in conjunction with the UN High Commissioner for Refugees in the area of health innovations that support refugee populations “is an outstanding example of fruitful collaborations grounded in bridge-building with community stakeholders,” she says.
