WISH
The World Innovation Summit for Health (WISH) — an initiative of the Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development (QF) — serves as a unique platform to bring together people from all sectors and backgrounds with a single shared focus: healthcare innovation. Attendees will get to stay updated with the latest developments in research and global best practices in healthcare, foster connections with professionals from diverse backgrounds, engage in discussions, and attend workshops that allow the exchange of ideas and knowledge.
This year, WISH will gather under the overall theme of humanizing health: conflict, equity, and resilience with a focus on four main tracks: Health of Vulnerable and Minority Populations, Health and Armed Conflict, System-level Innovation and Change, and Community-Led Engagement and Intervention.
Highlights ⭐
- Packed event: Across two days, more than 3,000 health policymakers, innovators, entrepreneurs, researchers, and practitioners convene at the Qatar National Convention Centre (QNCC) to look for innovative solutions to some of the world’s biggest health challenges.
- WHO is a partner: WISH has partnered with the World Health Organization (WHO) to develop three WHO-led collaborative research projects. These projects will generate evidence-based reports for in-depth discussion at the summit. These reports will focus on topics needing the urgent attention of the global health community, underscoring a joint commitment to improving policy and practice.
- Range of issues: Local and international partners will work with WISH to develop reports for the summit on a range of issues in areas such as health systems, ethics, physical health, and mental health.
