Téchne, WHO/AFRO and Politecnico de Torino win the International Innovative Health Design Award

The Technical Science for Health Network (Téchne), is a WHO network of architects, engineers, designers and public health practitioners from several institutions globally, that aims to make health settings and structures safer and reduce the risk of hospital-acquired infections. Established in early 2020 as part of the response to COVID-19, Téchne has since continued to grow, becoming a key logistical response network helping with preparedness and response to health emergencies.
