Goal and Purpose
- In order to recognise and honour champions who go above and beyond to improve the health outcomes for children and expectant women living with infectious diseases around the world, Fondazione Penta ETS, with its registered office in Corso Stati Uniti, Padova, Italy (hereinafter referred to as “Penta”), plans to present seven prestigious international awards.
- The BFA 2023 has three main objectives: to support initiatives aimed at improving maternal and child health, particularly in relation to old and new infectious diseases; to give scientists opportunities to connect with and learn from local communities that are at the forefront of maternal and child health; and to close the gap between data and human stories in order to help scientists work towards solutions that have a real-world impact on public health.
- Seven winners will be chosen by a Penta-appointed jury and assessed by Penta ID Network participants for their contribution to mother and child health.
