OUR IDENTITY

VISION

A healthy Africa, free from the burden of infectious diseases

MISSION

To strengthen health systems in Africa, with a strong emphasis on infectious diseases, through research and capacity development.

At the heart of IDI lies six fundamental principles that guide our actions, shape our culture, and drive our mission forward. These core values are the foundation of our work and the essence of who we are.

Caring —We approach our work with compassion and empathy, recognising the humanity in every individual we serve. Our commitment to caring extends beyond medical treatment to encompass holistic well-being and dignity for all.

Integrity —At IDI, honesty and ethical conduct are non-negotiable. We maintain the highest levels of professional and personal integrity, building trust with our stakeholders and setting an example for the broader healthcare community.

Excellence —We strive for excellence in everything we do. From research and patient care to capacity building and programme management, we are committed to delivering the highest quality outcomes and setting new standards in public health.

Innovation — We continuously seek new and better ways to address health challenges. Our culture of innovation drives us to push boundaries, embrace creativity, and pioneer solutions that can transform lives and systems.

Teamwork –We believe in the power of collaboration. By working together across disciplines and borders, we leverage diverse perspectives and skills to achieve greater impact. Our strength lies in our unity of purpose.

Accountability –We hold ourselves to the highest standards of responsibility and transparency. We are accountable to our patients, partners, and communities, ensuring that our actions always align with our mission and values.

These core values are not just words on a page; they are the principles that guide our daily decisions, shape our strategies, and define our organisational culture. They reflect our commitment to making a meaningful difference in the health and well-being of the communities we serve.

By embodying these values, we create an environment where:

  • Patients receive compassionate, high-quality care
  • Employees are empowered to innovate and excel
  • Partners can trust in our commitment and reliability
  • Resources are used efficiently and ethically
  • Knowledge is shared openly and collaboratively

As we face the complex health challenges of today and tomorrow, these core values serve as our compass, ensuring that we remain true to our mission and continue to make a positive impact on global health.
