WHIS Davos 2022

WORLD HEALTH INNOVATION SUMMIT PLATFORM FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT #WHIS

"An international exchange of ideas, enthusiasm, best practice and shared values, right on our own doorstep! An exciting opportunity to showcase our beautiful county and its people, and remind ourselves what resources we already have, and our potential for achieving even more. It provides an opportunity to improve health both locally and globally, in a myriad of ways and will help us attract health care professionals to the region".

Dr Laura Hipple, NHS Cumbria, UK

Our story: In 2015 the World Health Innovation Summit CIC was founded by Mr Gareth Presch. Based in the heart of Cumbria [UK] with an international career in healthcare systems, Gareth identified that people in the community would be better supported if they had more access to holistic solutions, in their locality. This is what we call community based person-centred care.

Taking a Good Health & Wellbeing (SDG3) approach to person centred health, Gareth recognised that there were five key cornerstones (Pillars) of which all needed to be supported, at the same time, by the same people: Health, Economy, Education, Environment and Ecosystems.

Gareth felt if people were more aware about how each Pillar impacted their daily lives, and ways in which to better understand them, then this could: 1. Help grow our economies (globally, nationally and locally) 2. Take pressures off our health and social services (staff and resources) 3.

Create healthier & happier populations (improve people’s health & wellbeing.

4. Restore the balance to the environment 5. Create equal and safe opportunities 6. Support the most vulnerable people in our society.

These are now the WHIS Goals. #SDGs #WHIS

The Opportunities: Gareth also identified a serious gap when it came to the progress of innovation. Many local enterprises and voluntary organisations were already providing exemplar services in their localities - but were working in isolation.

His idea was to bring together likeminded people, with the same values, to deliver evidence based solutions across the globe.

Collaboration: The key to achieving these goals. A new movement was born: #TogetherWeInspire Together, with the support from an ever-evolving extraordinary international team, WHIS has now become a global platform, connecting thousands of innovators and social entrepreneurs across the world who have the same ethical values and the passion to create a better world now, and for future generations.

Professionals reported decreased professional isolation and improved motivation: 67% said “I have improved my professional network.”

63% said “I have better access to new and innovative ideas through WHIS.”

Partnerships for the Goals UNGSII was initiated by UN Director General Michael Moller to provide scientific data and know how for SDG Implementation in 2014. The SCR500 Index was presented at the UN in New York on April 17th 2017. It illustrates that within the largest 500 stock listed corporations from around the world that the global goals has been accepted as a new guiding principle, it also demonstrated that being invested in those stocks and companies supporting SDGs brings competitive returns: the cumulative return after 4 years is 53%.

COVID19 and WHIS 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. With climate change the next challenge how will we address these challenges while delivering the UN sustainable development goals? Health and Economics are intrinsically linked as we’ve seen with COVID19.

Policy Brief: Moving forward during COVID19 while implementing SDG3 Good Health & Wellbeing World Health Innovation Summit

The COVID-19 pandemic is the defining crisis of this generation, from which we can either emerge for the better or the worse. It has laid bare the inequities and injustices that threaten people’s well-being, safety, and lives, and exacerbated an interconnected set of crises – economic, ecological, political, social – that disproportionately impact the poor and most vulnerable.
