The New Models to Deliver Healthcare (NMDH) Call aims to bridge the gap between proven, market-ready health solutions at Innovation Maturity Level (IML) 8 to 9 and their adoption in real-world healthcare systems. This call offers funding for collaborative, industry-led, payor-supported and patient-centric projects that implement and scale value-based healthcare models.

What We Fund
Funding will be awarded for up to 24 months for activities enabling the real-world deployment of value-based healthcare solutions that demonstrably improve patient outcomes while optimising healthcare system efficiency and sustainability.
