Our Innovation
Healthcare around the world is changing. Improvements in technology, diagnostics and treatments mean that many people around the world are living longer, healthier lives.
But not everyone is able to benefit, and significant health inequities remain. We’re harnessing the power of innovation to tackle the world’s most pressing health challenges, with a focus on those who need them most.
By combining quality research, emerging technologies, and strategic partnerships, we are transforming innovative ideas into real-world solutions.
From enhancing healthcare delivery to addressing unmet global health needs, we aim to create lasting impact through collaboration and creativity.

Balancing growth and green
At The George Institute, we’re on an exciting journey to make sustainability a core part of everything we do. Our Sustainability Roadmap sets out how we’ll get there.
In 2024, we’re laying the groundwork by finalizing our sustainability plan, conducting a thorough audit to understand where we stand, and listening to our stakeholders to learn what matters most to them.

By 2026, we’ll focus on refining our processes, ensuring our data is accurate and reliable, and aligning with global frameworks to prepare for external reporting.
Finally, in 2027, we’ll bring it all together by fully integrating climate reporting into our annual reporting cycles, ensuring sustainability is firmly embedded in how we work an
