Universal access to reliable healthcare information - for the public, for health workers, for policymakers - is a prerequisite for universal health coverage and quality of care, from the home through all levels of the health system.
With your support, HIFA will continue to serve as a 'multi-stakeholder mechanism for engaging the whole of society for a healthier world', campaigning and working together for a world where every person has access to the healthcare information they need to protect their health and the health of others.
