A four-member ministerial delegation of health officials is in Doha, Qatar for the 2018 World Innovation Summit for Health (WISH).
An invitation to the summit was extended to Guyana’s Public Health Ministry by Minister of Public Health of the State of Qatar, Dr. Hanan Al Kuwari.
The summit is being supported by the Qatar Foundation and was founded by Her Highness of Qatar, Sheikha Moza bint Nasser, to improve global health by developing an evidence base for innovative healthcare policy. It is also meant to serve as a platform for leaders impatient about the current pace of change in healthcare.
The event will feature keynote speakers, plenary sessions, a ministerial roundtable discussion, and the WISH hub, which will showcase some of the world’s most exciting healthcare innovations.
The topics in focus, this year, include Anxiety and Depression, Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, Design in Health, Eye Health, Healthcare in Conflict Settings, Islamic Ethics and Palliative Care, Nursing and Universal Health Coverage, Role of the Private Sector in Healthcare, and Viral Hepatitis.
The summit will commence today, and will last two days.
Guyana’s Delegation includes Junior Minister of Health, Dr. Karen Cummings; Deputy Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Karen Campbell; General Medical Officer, Dr. Ryan Campbell; and Chief Nursing Officer, Linda Johnson.
