FAQs

01

Why did we start this federation ?

Just like the world has become a global village with blurred borders, similarly the conventional fields have also started merging. This raises the need of inter sectoral collaboration at a greater scale for the young leaders. We wish to bring together individuals from different fields in a professional capacity to work towards the goal of improving cardiovascular health. Moreover there is an increasing need for interventions in the healthcare industry.

02

What is the vision of WYHF ?

Improve the global cardiovascular health and in turn reduce the mortality and morbidity due to cardiovascular diseases.

03

Why are we focussing only on Cardiovascular Health ?

According to WHO, Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the number 1 cause of death globally, taking an estimated 17.9 million lives each year. We are targeting cardiovascular health (CVH) in particular due the increasing need for interventions in the field. We are focussing only on CVH because we want to avoid making diffuse and shallow efforts in the entire healthcare field. It is extremely important to make condensed efforts in one direction to achieve something and make a difference.

04

Who can be a member of WYHF ?

Any individual under the age of 35 can be a member of WYHF.

05

Why should I be a member of WYHF ?

Various benefits of being a member of WYHF - India are listed below :-

  1. Interacting with members from different fields and understanding their work cultures.
  2. Having a chance to work on the collective goal of improving cardiovascular health.
  3. Being a part of National and Global research studies.
  4. Getting a chance to create and grow your startup idea in the field of cardiovascular health.
  5. Collaborating with other members and working on ground breaking technologies with sufficient support and mentorship.
  6. Collaborating with other members to create educational materials in video, text and various other formats to reach out to a larger population.
  7. Advocating for event s and topics related to CVH.

06

What is the structure of WYHF and how do you plan to expand it ?

Currently we have started with the India Chapter of WYHF as a pilot to understand the obstacles faced in establishing such a network. Later on we wish to grow the federation to its true potential and expand globally and gradually have more National Chapters under the umbrella of the Federation.

07

How will you ensure the sustainability of WYHF ?

We believe in the process of ensuring the process of continuous growth. This will be achieved primarily by the structure of the organisation. The individual for the position would be elected by the previous EB TD (Executive Board - Team of Directors) for a period of one year. 

This will ensure transparency, constant inflow of new ideas and prevent stagnation of the Federation.Initially the individuals for the leadership positions are being selected, the first members will be the cornerstone of the entire Federation and their respective Committees.
