Dear HIFA colleagues,
We now have 1389 responses to the survey. Please continue to spread the word: www.hifa.org/survey2023
Meanwhile, we are discussing the questions here on HIFA. Our discussion will complement the survey results and together they will form the report to WHO to guide next steps.
Here is Question 8 for your comments on the forum.
===
Q8: Which of the seven World Medical Association recommendations (listed below) do you think are most important to achieve universal access to reliable healthcare information? Please select TWO (2) options
1. Support initiatives to improve access to reliable healthcare information
2. Promote standards of good practice and ethics
3. Support research to identify enabling drivers and barriers
4. Ensure that health workers have access to reliable healthcare information
5. Combat myths and misinformation
6. Urge governments to recognize their moral obligation
7. Urge governments to provide political and financial support to WHO

More information about the above is available in the WMA Statement here: https://www.wma.net/policies-post/wma-statement-on-healthcare-informatio...
Which of the above are most important? Which are least important?
It would be very helpful if you can say *why* you think any particular recommendation is important/not important.
What other recommendations would you like to see?
Please send your comments by email to the forum: hifa@hifaforums.org
Many thanks
Neil
