LAHORE: Pakistan’s ChildLife Foundation is one of three organizations that have been globally recognized with the Skoll Award 2026 for Social Innovation, presented during the 23rd Annual Skoll World Forum held in Oxford, U.K.
This prestigious award recognizes the impact of public-private partnership between ChildLife Foundation and the government in delivering innovative, transformative solutions for expanding access to quality emergency care for children across Pakistan, free of cost and 24/7.
The Skoll Foundation recognized ChildLife Foundation on two fronts: its working with the government to modernize and manage children’s emergency rooms in tertiary hospitals, and its telemedicine network, which connects secondary care hospitals in remote areas to paediatric specialists through HD cameras and IP phones. The award also acknowledged the partnership’s role in reducing child mortality across Pakistan.
Dr. Ahson Rabbani, CEO ChildLife Foundation said, “Our vision is that no child should be more than 30 minutes away from quality emergency care across Pakistan”.
“This year’s winners of the Skoll Award for Social Innovation prove that when bold, creative leaders set their sights on a problem, their resolve and commitment lead to global systems change. Through innovative partnerships with affected communities and cross-sector collaboration, they are driving impact and lasting change in the fields of health, education, and public benefits,” said Marla Blow, CEO and President of the Skoll Foundation.
