Our Purpose
The International Headache Society (IHS) is dedicated to nurturing, promoting, and safeguarding a culture that embraces diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). We firmly believe that assembling a society comprising individuals with diverse backgrounds, viewpoints, experiences, and capabilities enhances our strength and improves our society.
Our most valuable asset is our enriched human capital. The combined wealth of individual differences, life experiences, knowledge, creativity, innovation, national origin, physical and mental abilities, race, religion, sexual orientation, gender and talent that our members contribute to our society constitutes a substantial portion of not only our culture but also our reputation and Societies success.

We believe that embracing diversity in all its forms is not only a moral imperative but also crucial for driving excellence and achieving our mission.
