We are delighted to publish the HIFA Strategy 2025-2027. This includes five strategic priorities to accelerate progress towards universal access to reliable healthcare information, in official relations with the World Health Organization.
1. Advocate for political and financial commitment to universal access to reliable healthcare information
2. Advocate for WHO to champion universal access and convene stakeholders to develop a global strategy to make it a reality
3. Implement the WHO Collaboration Plan 2025-2027
4. Harness collective intelligence to strengthen the global evidence ecosystem
5. Promote global health information and communication in multiple languages
We invite all HIFA members and organisations to read the Strategy and consider how you can support and collaborate with us.
To implement the strategy, we need to secure FUNDING at a minimum of £50,000 per annum.
