The BMJ Innovations social innovations for health special supplement highlights some of the most important research work, concepts and practices in the area of social innovations in health. It also showcases the best available case examples where significant improvements in health outcomes have been made.

“The purpose of this special supplement is to spur the development and maturation of social innovation in health as an academic field and to broaden multidisciplinary collaboration to this end. Here, contributors describe and analyse the history, concepts, tensions and research evidence of community-engaged social innovations and related person-centred approaches. The overarching goal is to better understand how social innovations can be embedded in health education, training, research, policy, programmes and systems.

Ultimately, the special supplement will demonstrate how social innovation contributes toward a holistic approach to health and development.” Joseph Tucker, MD, PhD
