Dear Poorva
Thank you for sharing your experience at the WHA. Leveraging the existence of around 193 delegates (member states) at the Assembly is what HIFA aims at. I really hope that your meetings, advocacy, and promotion of HIFA are well done. All your activities to meet other HIFA colleagues and to be introduce to them is fantastic. Ian Roberts is missing from the list. I guess he was busy in the organization of the Assembly, as usual.
With kind regards.
