Making social impact in health visible
For more than a decade, the trifermed Awards have recognized changemakers, innovators, and visionaries in healthcare. These awards are proof of a long-standing commitment to advancing health innovation through empathy, integrity, and collaboration.
The trifermed Awards are an initiative of Social Impact in Health (SIH) — a mission-driven knowledge-based platform created to ensure that health innovation translates into real, lasting social impact.
Within this ecosystem, the Awards exist to make impact visible, legitimate, and worth emulating.
Why the trifermed Awards exist
Health innovation is often evaluated through metrics such as technology, funding, or scale. The trifermed Awards were created to recognize a different — and essential — dimension: social impact in health.
Founded in 2015, the Awards honor individuals and organizations whose work improves health outcomes in meaningful, measurable ways, often beyond visibility or recognition.
The connection with trifermed
trifermed and the trifermed Awards are not the same initiative, nor do they serve the same function.
What connects them is a shared lineage of thought.
trifermed focuses on designing and executing strategic partnerships that allow health innovation to reach real-world contexts. The trifermed Awards recognize those who are already creating that impact — often quietly, often against structural complexity.
Both belong to the same ecosystem of Social Impact in Health, where strategy, execution, recognition, and societal responsibility remain aligned over time.
