Dear HIFA colleagues,
Further to my message just now, I invite HIFA Country Representatives and other HIFA members to present this 10-minute PowerPoint at your next event. The more we promote the findings of this consultation, the more we can accelerate progress towards our shared goal: a world where every person has access to the reliable healthcare information they need to protect their own health and the health of others.
We are particularly interested to hear people's thoughts on the two central messages of the consultation report, namely that WHO should explicitly champion the goal of universal access to reliable healthcare information, and should convene stakeholders to develop a global strategy to accelerate progress.
The presentation is available in English and Spanish. Here are some useful links:
