Canadian Ismaili Health Providers’ Network
The Canadian Ismaili Health Providers’ Network (CIHPN) aims to bring together Canadian Ismaili health providers to learn, network and serve our Jamat. In doing so, our priorities include:
- Providing primary care and mental health support to newly arrived Jamati members and other murids in need of these services;
- Providing support to newly arrived internationally accredited providers and aspiring students;
- Connecting global institutions in need with Ismaili health care providers for support; and
- Providing education and networking opportunities for health care providers across the country.
Below you will find information on how to join the CIHPN, upcoming National and Regional CIHPN events, opportunities to serve, and contact information all in one place. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have questions!

The Aga Khan Health Board for Canada is updating its database of Canadian Ismaili Health Providers. The CIHPN is a resource and networking platform for healthcare providers and students, including those in health-related fields and roles.
Registrants will receive information on:
- Volunteer opportunities; and
- Upcoming local, national and international events and activities.
Members of the community who are health professionals or are working or studying in health-related fields are encouraged to register. Other professionals - such as consultants - who have skills that may be transferable to health care are also encouraged to register.
For information on how your data will be used, please see the FAQs below. Should you have any additional questions or concerns, please email akhbc@iicanada.net.
While volunteers have registered with iKEY, CIHPN needs to collect specific data around your professional backgrounds and experiences. As such, the CIHPN uses the REDCAP database to collect necessary information to be able to provide needed services to the Jamat as well as provide you access to specialty-specific updates.
The data will be used for communication purposes as well as to identify individuals with specific skill sets based on incoming requests to the Aga Khan Health Board for Canada. On your profile, you can identify if you would like to receive communication and/or have the capacity to provide support at this time. We request that you update your profile regularly.
