Doha: The World Innovation Summit for Health (WISH) will present its evidence-based research at a global health policy briefing hosted by Health Affairs in Washington D.C. tomorrow.
Health Affairs is one of the world’s leading peer-reviewed journals in the field of health policy research. Its mission is to serve as a high-level, non-partisan platform to encourage analysis and discussion to improve health and healthcare and address issues including cost, quality and access.
The forum, ‘Global Health: Patient Safety, Cancer Care, Universal Health Coverage and Innovation’, will explore issues confronting the global health community, such as the effective implementation of universal health coverage and improving patient safety drawn from WISH’s portfolio of policy research in recent years.
WISH leadership and research forum chairs will moderate discussions and speak about their respective areas of expertise. They include Sir David Nicholson, former chief executive, National Health Service, UK and Director, David Nicholson Healthcare Solutions Limited, and Chair, WISH Universal Health Coverage Forum 2014; Victor Dzau, President, National Academy of Medicine, and Chair of WISH Precision Medicine Forum 2016; Peter Pronovost, Senior Vice-President, Patient Safety and Quality, and Director of Armstrong Institute for Patient Safety and Quality, Johns Hopkins Medicine, and Chair, WISH Patient Safety Forum 2015; and Mark McClellan, Director, Robert J Margolis Center for Health Policy and Margolis Professor of Business, Medicine and Health Policy, Duke University, and Chair, WISH Accountable Care Forum 2013 and 2016. The event will bring together over 150 leading international figures from academia, non-governmental organisations and the media.
Health Affairs Editor-in-Chief Alan Weil will host the event at the National Press Club. “We are pleased to partner with Qatar Foundation and WISH on this forum to explore major issues confronting the global health community. Many speakers have been previously published in Health Affairs; a companion compendium containing those articles will be available at the forum. Health Affairs appreciates the authors’ participation in the forum, and is grateful to QF, WISH, Hamad Medical Corporation, Sidra Medical and Research Centre, and Imperial College London for support for much of our global content.”
Professor Lord Darzi of Denham, Executive Chair, WISH, said: “Our partnership with Health Affairs is evidence of the global impact of WISH research. We look forward to this forum, which promises discussion and debate on some of the most pressing issues in healthcare today.”
