Abstract in brief

  • Social innovation in healthcare is increasingly used to improve social goals like better healthcare delivery, but its definition remains unclear, often emphasizing changes in social relations, power dynamics, and governance.
  • A review of 27 empirical studies from the past 10 years found that most used case studies, with many authored outside the health sector in high-income countries, and highlighted how social innovation helps address access and cost barriers in various settings.
  • The research generally views social innovation as a tool to increase participation in health programs, but lacks evidence on whether it truly leads to empowerment or systemic transformation, focusing more on practical applications than transformative change.]
