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.
