"The First Wealth is Health"

COVID-19 has put all countries' health care systems under a microscope, and one legacy of the pandemic will undoubtedly be a re-thinking of how all societies take care of their most vulnerable. This was the core part of this year's Award topic.

The "First Wealth is Health": Lessons and Best Practices from the European Microfinance Award 2021 on "Inclusive Finance & Health Care" condenses the themes, pulls together the outstanding cases and factors for success from the 2021 European Microfinance Award and profiles the ten Award semi-finalists and finalists.
