Dear Neil
As the HiFA Supporting Organisations Coordinator and Country Representative for Zimbabwe, I would like to congratulate HIFA on this strategic and significant milestone on the renewal of its official relations status with WHO for 2025-2027. This renewal and recognition by WHO is a testament to HIFA's unwavering dedication to advancing universal access to reliable healthcare information. In addition, it is an affirmation of the critical and unique role HIFA plays in supporting WHO’s mission.
The successful execution of this new HIFA-WHO Collaboration Plan 2025-2027 [ https://publicspace.who.int/sites/GEM/official_relations_details.aspx?id... ] requires tangible support and resources as outlined in your write up. In this regard, I call upon all HIFA Supporting Organisations, partners, and well-wishers to renew and scale up their support to HIFA, so that together we can fulfill this vital mission and ensure that no person is left without access to reliable healthcare information.
Let us stand together to support HIFA in this next chapter of its journey with WHO.
Congratulations again to Neil, the HIFA working groups chairs and members, HiFA Supporting Organisations and membership on this collective achievement. May this renewed mandate inspire us all to work even harder toward a world where everyone has access to the information they need to protect and improve their health.
