WORLD HEALTH COMMUNICATION ASSOCIATES

WELCOME TO THE HOME PAGE OF THE WORLD HEALTH EDITORS NETWORK - WHEN

The World Health Editors Network, WHEN, is an international, inter-professional exchange and action platform  dedicated to exploring and strengthening communications as a positive determinant of health.

Through participation in  events, editors get early access to global health news and experts and importantly, key  international health agency agenda-setting intelligence.

WHEN development is being facilitated by the World Health Professional Alliance and its constituent association  members, including the International Council of Nurses (ICN), the International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP), the  FDI World Dental Federation, and the World Medical Association (WMA). The World Health Communication Associates  (WHCA) serve as secretariat to WHEN.
