Members of the HIFA community,
I have just completed the survey on access to reliable health care information. I am sure many of you have done so already. Those in our community who have not - we on the HIFA Steering Group urge you to act fast.
It took me less than 6 minutes to answer the questions.
If you have a moment these coming days, please take 5-10 minutes to complete this global survey.
The results will be made public and inform next steps by WHO and partners to accelerate progress.
Thank you.
Jules (Member of HIFA Steering Group)
