Vision and goals

The Kurdistan Health Summit aims to improve health all over Iraq, catalyzing that process through collaboration and open dialogue, and steering tomorrow’s agenda to improve research, education, healthcare, and policy outcomes.

It brings together researchers, physicians, key government officials, and representatives from industry as well as from NGOs, Peshmerga and healthcare systems all over the world to address the most pressing issues facing every facet of healthcare and medicine in Iraqi people’s daily life.

The KHS will be improving global health through pursuit of six strategic goals:

1. Developing an Iraqi and Kurdistan network of academic health science centers, and bringing together universities and healthcare providers.
2. Facilitating dialogue through the KHS across an Iraqi network of stakeholders who are engaged with academic health science centers. These stakeholders include (among others) individuals and institutions active in government, industry and commerce, inter-governmental agencies, healthcare providers, academies of medicine and science, professional associations and the media.
3. Setting an agenda for Iraqi health improvement by addressing issues of interest to academic health science centers, and conveying findings and recommendations based on scientific evidence through the generation of key statements.
4. Positioning the AVI health Organization an authoritative, credible and respected influence when it comes to decision-making in Kurdistan health;
5. Help define the future of medicine in Iraq, research, and healthcare
6. Find answers to major health challenges – both today and tomorrow and make recommendations and set health agendas in Iraq in general and in Kurdistan specifically.
