Abstract
"Research to improve health is best understood as a process within a chain of health innovation that begins with a concept, question or observation and proceeds through experimental investigation towards the eventual application of the results to the use of a new process or product in the field. Innovation for health equity should not be regarded as being restricted to the creation of affordable and appropriate medical products and technologies9. It also includes developing and applying understanding of how to improve equitable access through novel health policies, services and systems, interventions and support mechanisms; and encompasses the application of health technology assessment to assist in selecting the most appropriated and cost-effective technologies to meet health needs, especially of the poor and vulnerable. And it includes innovations in understandings and measurements of health and health equity."(pg 14)
