Become a GHC Delegate at WHA

IMPORTANT: GHC defines its delegation as GHC members who wish to be credentialed to attend the WHA formal proceedings within the grounds of the Palais de Nations. If you do not need credentials [1] but wish to still partake in GHC’s welcome reception, access GHC’s WHA calendar, attend side events outside the grounds, and sign-up for GHC’s WHA information listserv, please see GHC Advocate.

In accordance with recent discussions with WHO concerning delegation characteristics, GHC will:

  1. Limit the number of individuals in its delegation in order to be in greater alignment with the general size of other delegations; and
  2. Work with members to ensure that the GHC delegation roughly reflects the member profile of the entire GHC membership base.

As a result, we will only allow two representatives per member organization. We will also set aside 15 spots for individual members (i.e. global health professionals and students without an institutional affiliation).

Please see below for GHC WHA delegate requirements, optional activities, and registration instructions.

The following contributions are expected of GHC WHA delegates:

  • Submit of at least one post for GHC’s blog, The Collective Voice, or other WHA-related social media support
