Please support! The HIFA global survey officially launches on 21st August in official relations with WHO!

15 August, 2023

Dear HIFA colleagues,

Our global survey officially launches on 21st August in official relations with the World Health Organization!

The survey is the first vital step in our collaboration plan with WHO to achieve universal access to reliable healthcare information: a world where every person will have access to the information they need to protect their own health and the health of others.

The survey is now available to HIFA members here: http://www.hifa.org/survey2023

Please complete the survey yourself (it takes just 5-10 minutes to do so) and add your voice.

This will help us to reach our target: 10,000 responses, which in turn will demonstrate massive public support for our goal. This is vital to secure the high-level political and financial support we need to accelerate progress.

Yesterday we had a webinar for all our HIFA supporting organisations to invite their help, and we are glad to report that several organisations have made small financial contributions and/or have offered technical support. Also The Lancet and The BMJ have agreed to provide complimentary publicity!

With thanks and best wishes, Neil
