with WHO

Strengthening Global Public Health Through Strategic Partnerships and Evidence-Based Policies.

The World Federation of Public Health Associations (WFPHA) works closely with the World Health Organization (WHO) to advance the field of global public health. This partnership aims to promote mutually beneficial policies, strategies, and programs that address pressing health challenges and ensure the harmonization of public health efforts at the country, regional, and global levels.

As an NGO in official relations with WHO, WFPHA plays a critical role in shaping global health agendas and advocating for evidence-based policies. Our collaboration with WHO enables us to:

• Participate in WHO Meetings: Appoint representatives to contribute to discussions on global health priorities.
• Access WHO Documentation: Utilize non-confidential WHO resources to inform our initiatives and advocacy efforts.
• Submit Policy Memoranda: Provide recommendations to the WHO Director-General on key public health issues.
