    Check out this Website: Reverse innovation to fight Covid-19!

    Countries in Asia and Africa with experience fighting multiple epidemics, such as SARS, MERS, Ebola, or Zika have had per capita death rates from COVID-19 that are less than 1% of those in US or Europe. To help US policymakers capture the lessons from their experience, we have created a website called Reverse innovation to fight Covid-19. It describes over 40 ideas that seem to have contributed to Asia/Africa's success in containing COVID-19. 

    The website builds on my article, "Using reverse innovation to fight Covid-19," Harvard Business Review, June 17, 2020.

    Please share the website Reverse innovation to fight Covid-19 (and the HBR article) with your social network, including FB, LinkedIn, etc. so we can crowdsource and improve the website. We appreciate your feedback.

    Thanks, Ravi
