World Health Innovation Summit (WHIS) is a global membership organisation that brings together communities, healthcare professionals, innovators, policymakers, and businesses to transform healthcare systems and unlock inclusive economic opportunities that leave no one behind.
Mission
To empower people and communities to take control of their health and wellbeing through collaborative, integrated, and innovative approaches.
Vision
To deliver health and wellbeing for all by enabling community-led, digitally supported, and sustainable health solutions.
PROBLEM
Most healthcare systems remain reactive, focused on treating illness rather than promoting long-term wellness. This "sick-care" model often overlooks the broader social, environmental, and behavioural drivers of health.
The COVID-19 pandemic revealed critical weaknesses in global health systems and amplified inequalities related to gender, race, disability, and socioeconomic status. The need for resilient, inclusive, and preventative healthcare has never been greater.
SOLUTION
WHIS provides a trusted, global platform to connect diverse stakeholders — patients, clinicians, innovators, educators, researchers, investors, policymakers, and community leaders — to share knowledge, scale innovation, and co-create health solutions.
By shifting the focus from illness to wellness and from systems to people, WHIS supports transformation at every level of care — from digital health to precision medicine, mental wellbeing to healthy ageing.
We are changing the way people and systems think about healthcare by:
- Supporting community-led innovation and integrated care.
- Enabling access to scalable, evidence-based, non-clinical and clinical solutions.
- Reducing pressure on overstretched health systems through digital, preventative, and sustainable approaches.
- Fostering ecosystems that improve outcomes and deliver economic, social, and environmental value.
