Hippocrate Award
Governance
In 2023, a strategic advisory committee was established to ensure an approach consistent with ministerial guidelines and sound administration of the Hippocrate Award. In 2024, several adjustments were made to the committee in light of evolving guidelines and the Health Plan. Furthermore, given the diverse nature of the awards to be granted, a specific jury was formed for each award, composed of members with expertise relevant to the projects under review and the awards to be granted. For the reasons outlined above, adjustments were also made regarding the awards and the recruitment of new jury members.
