The Else Kröner Fresenius Prize for Medical Development Cooperation is awarded annually to projects that improve healthcare in developing countries in a sustainable manner. The prize, that comes with a € 100,000 prize money, recognises both the quality and innovative strength of the projects and the personal commitment of those responsible.
The 2025 competition focused on the theme of ‘mobile clinics’: the prize is awarded to outreach health services that provide medical care to people in remote or hard-to-reach regions – where the journey to the nearest facility is too long, too dangerous or too expensive.
This year’s winner is Dipanwita Sarkar from the Dearah Association for Social and Humanitarian Action (ASHA). The award ceremony will take place on 14 October 2025 at 6 p.m. in the Auditorium Friedrichstraße (Berlin).
Further information about the event and registration can be found on the website.
