Dear HIFA Community,
I am pleased to extend my warm greetings to each member of the HIFA community and share the exciting news about my involvement in the HIFA Working Group on Alcohol Use Disorders.

My name is Enock Musungwini, and I am a passionate public health professional and advocate for alcohol policy, mental health, and well-being. I am thrilled to join the HIFA Working Group on Alcohol Use Disorders, a platform that aligns perfectly with my commitment to addressing the challenges posed by alcohol use and its impact on health. This group serves as a crucial space for collaboration, knowledge sharing, debates, discussions, and the development of strategies to enhance our understanding and response to alcohol-related issues within the HIFA community and beyond.
As a member of the working group, I am eager to engage in meaningful discussions, share insights, and contribute to the collective efforts aimed at promoting awareness, prevention, and intervention in the context of alcohol use disorders. I firmly believe that our combined expertise can lead to innovative solutions and contribute to the advancement of public health in this critical area.
I look forward to connecting with fellow working group members, broad HIFA members and community, learning from your experiences, and collectively making a positive impact on the discourse surrounding alcohol used isorders. Together, let us strive for a healthier and more informed global community.
