Strategic Pillars & Global Programs

GIFIN’s activities are structured around five interdependent strategic pillars, forming an integrated global framework for insomnia care.

1. Clinical and Scientific Framework

Promoting standardized, evidence-based diagnostic and management principles while recognizing phenotypic diversity and contextual constraints.

2. Capacity Building and Education

Strengthening human resources through multidisciplinary education, including cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), primary care integration, and digital training programs.

3. Digital and Telemedicine-Based Care

Supporting scalable, low-cost digital solutions such as mobile applications, teleconsultation, and remote monitoring to expand access to insomnia care.

4. Patient-Centered and Behavioral Sleep Health

Emphasizing shared decision-making, behavioral interventions, adherence support, and patient-reported outcomes.

5. Policy Integration and Health System Alignment

Advocating for the inclusion of insomnia within NCD, mental health, and occupational health strategies.
