We actively engage investors and work with governments and the private sector at the highest level to co-create the future of healthcare.
Mission
Empower people to manage their own health and wellbeing
Vision
To deliver health for all
PROBLEM
The current healthcare systems tend to be based predominantly on a sick-care model, the system is essentially one that waits until we have fallen ill.
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has dramatically unveiled the health inequalities (Gender, Disability etc) that exist in societies across the world, alongside the fragile state of the world’s health.
SOLUTION
WHIS is a platform that brings patients, clinicians, managers, voluntary sector, education and the business community together to create value while supporting our health and social care services.
The World Health Innovation Summit (WHIS) actions are demonstrating that we can reduce the pressures on health services by giving our communities the tools to take care of their own physical and mental wellbeing... from childhood through to old age.
We are changing the way people think about their health, physically and emotionally.
We are giving them the ownership and the tools to make a difference.
We help to inspire and inform people in their communities to implement change to improve their health and wellbeing
