The Awards for Excellence in Inter-American Public Health Program

Each year, the Pan American Health and Education Foundation presents five international awards that recognize excellence in:

• leadership in inter-American health
• community service
• health literature
• veterinary public health
• bioethics

These awards honor dedicated professionals who led the way in advancing health conditions in the Americas during the last century. The awards stimulate the growth of the next and rising generation of leaders working together to improve health and health care in the Americas.

The Awards for Excellence in Inter-American Public Health Program is a partnership between the Pan American Health and Education Foundation and the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO). For each award, there is a jury of distinguished public health professionals that reviews nominations and recommends a candidate to the board of trustees of the Foundation for final selection.

Recipients of each award are recognized with a certificate of honor, cash prize, and paid trip to Washington, DC.

We invite you to nominate candidates for these awards.
