Who We Are

Westside International Institute for Global Health & Infectious Diseases (WIIGHID) is a distinguished non-governmental, non-profit organization committed to transforming global health landscapes. Founded on the principles of equity, innovation, and collaboration, WIIGHID seeks to empower communities, strengthen health systems, and advance public health through integrated strategies that span prevention, emergency response, policy advocacy, research, and education.

From combating infectious diseases to confronting the silent epidemics of non-communicable diseases and addressing urgent health emergencies, WIIGHID serves as a frontline force and a thought leader in global health advancement.


Our Phylosophy

At WIIGHID, we believe good health is not a privilege—it is a fundamental human right. Our work is driven by the conviction that health equity must be the bedrock of all public health initiatives. Every person, regardless of geography, income, gender, or background, deserves access to quality healthcare.

We adopt a holistic, people-centered philosophy—integrating scientific innovation with cultural sensitivity, and community participation with international collaboration. We don't merely deliver services; we build systems, ignite change, and cultivate resilience.
