Advancing Health Systems Rooted in Humanity, Equity, and Innovation
The International Consortium for Human-Centered Health (ICHCH) is a global alliance of scholars, practitioners, educators, and institutions dedicated to reimagining healthcare through a human-centered lens. We believe that healthcare must not only be clinically effective, but also ethically grounded, socially responsive, and empathetically designed.
Our Mission
To foster interdisciplinary research, collaborative innovation, and policy reform that centers human dignity, cultural context, and lived experience in all aspects of health systems and services.
Our Vision
We envision a world in which healthcare is not only accessible and affordable, but also just, participatory, and emotionally intelligent—where technology and science serve people, not the other way around.
What We Do
1. Interdisciplinary Research & Knowledge Exchange
We promote collaboration across medicine, public health, law, technology, anthropology, design, and ethics to generate actionable insights and frameworks for human-centered care.
2. Policy Advocacy & Thought Leadership
ICHCH develops white papers, briefs, and recommendations for policymakers and global institutions to promote equity, dignity, and patient empowerment.
3. Education & Capacity Building
We support universities, training centers, and public agencies in developing curricula and pedagogical tools focused on human-centered health delivery.
4. Global Convenings & Events
From summits to workshops, ICHCH hosts dialogues that bring together global voices—from frontline workers to digital health innovators.
Our Core Values
- Dignity First: Every human life deserves respect, care, and autonomy.
- Equity in Practice: We challenge systemic health disparities through research and reform.
- Community-Led Solutions: We listen, co-design, and empower.
- Responsible Innovation: Technology must amplify human care, not replace it.
