• The best medical technology or digital solution (medical device, diagnostic, e-health, telemedicine, patient records, etc.)

Each prize is endowed with a 20,000,000 FCFA (Twenty Million CFA Francs) grant, or about 30,000 USD (Thirty Thousand US Dollars).

They will be awarded for highly convincing or promising products, initiatives, and services in the field of innovative discoveries and therapies serving humanity, animal, and environmental health.

The Prix Galien Africa rewards pharmaceutical sciences that improve the human, animal, and environmental condition, primarily based on two criteria: Innovation and/or discovery, Impact on the African continent.
