(Geneva,
Switzerland) -
The International Hospital
Federation (IHF) launches
its 2021 IHF Awards, its
premier awards program for
hospitals and health service
providers after its
postponement in 2020 due to
the pandemic.
“The
COVID-19 pandemic continues
to create havoc globally and
has put our healthcare
providers and systems under
unimaginable strain.
However, in response to this
pandemic, we are delighted
to see that hospitals and
healthcare organizations
around the world also
produced outstanding and
innovative projects to
combat COVID-19 worthy of
worldwide recognition. We
would like this year’s IHF
Awards to be dedicated as a
platform for these projects
to be highlighted and serve
as inspiration to others.”
Ronald Lavater, CEO of the
International Hospital
Federation said.
The
2021 IHF Awards also
features a new category, the

year’s IHF Awards to reach
more deserving hospitals and
healthcare organizations.
This new category, the
