What
EPiHC is a set of ten fundamental principles to be shared across the health care ecosystem—from front line providers to top leadership—adding welcome clarity to the decisions, transactions, practices, and encounters that affect every aspect of health care services.
Why
Health care organizations across the globe navigate a complex, always-changing landscape. Ethical and responsible conduct is necessary for the achievement of global health goals and is also an important element of performance and risk management.
How
EPiHC helps organizations make a stronger contribution to the lives of their patients, their staff, the environment, and the communities they serve. EPiHC is both a compass to help health care organizations navigate complex situations and decision making, and a forum for stakeholders to discuss common challenges and solutions.
Promoting Ethical Conduct in the Global Health Sector
Silven Chikengezha, Global Sector Lead of Health Services at IFC, invites healthcare leaders to join the EPiHC collective.
Today, EPiHC has 384 Signatories.
EPiHC is a global initiative whose signatories together own or manage over 6,000 healthcare facilities in more than 100 countries.
Become a Signatory
We invite health care organizations and investors to adopt EPiHC. For some organizations, becoming an EPiHC signatory will represent a first step toward codifying such principles. For others, EPiHC will complement existing corporate codes and statements.
