Introduction 


Vision Statement:

"Empowering the youth as advocates of health innovation, the World Health Innovators' Network envisions a world where equitable access to quality healthcare and mental well-being is realized through technology-driven solutions and evidence-based policies. Together, we strive to create a global network of young health leaders working towards a healthier, more sustainable future for all.”  - Kenisha Arora


The network is a powerful platform for young people to come together and work towards a common goal of promoting health and well-being. As a network uniting youth, this group is dedicated to addressing health challenges collectively. By fostering collaboration among young people from diverse backgrounds, we strive to develop innovative solutions and advocate for positive change in youth health and well-being. This platform will provide opportunities for young people to develop their skills, build relationships, and make a meaningful impact in their communities. By focusing on the four key areas outlined in SDG3 and working towards the three goals of advocacy, capacity building, and policy writing, the network aims to create a healthier and more equitable world for all young people.

The network will establish four working groups focused on the following areas:

Working Groups 

To achieve these objectives, WHIN will establish four working groups, each focused on one of the four key areas. The working groups will be responsible for developing strategies, conducting research, and implementing programs that address the specific health challenges in their respective areas. The working groups will be composed of young people from various backgrounds and experiences. 

Working Groups To achieve these objectives

1. Climate and health

2. Health literacy and education

GOALS

The Network will have the following three goals: 

1. Advocacy and Awareness Raising: Together, we will be the voice of young health leaders, advocating for policies and programs that prioritize the health and well-being of our generation. Through inspiring events and collaborations on social media, we will spread awareness and rally support for youth-centric health initiatives at local, national, and international levels. 

2. Capacity Building and Championing Innovative Solutions: We believe in empowering young people to be the driving force of change in the health domain. Our alliance will provide comprehensive training and capacity-building opportunities, nurturing the skills and knowledge of young health innovators. With these tools, we will lead the charge in health transformation and make a lasting difference in our communities. 

3. Global Research and Policy Writing: As pioneers of youth health, we recognize the value of evidence-based policies that genuinely cater to our unique challenges. Through global-wide research on health issues affecting young individuals, we will develop policy recommendations and guidelines. These youth-centered policies will become instrumental in shaping a healthier and more inclusive future for generations to come.
