The World Federation of Public Health Associations is an international, nongovernmental, multi-professional and civil society organization bringing together public health professionals interested and active in safeguarding and promoting the public’s health through professional exchange, collaboration, and action. Founded in 1967, it is the only worldwide professional society representing and serving the broad area of public health, as distinct from single disciplines or occupations. The Federations’ members are national and regional public health associations, as well as regional associations of schools of public health presently numbering more than 70.

WFPHA strives to promote effective public health policies and practices throughout the world every day. If you or your organization would like to support our efforts please contact Dr. Barbara Hatcher, WFPHA Secretary General, at +1.202.777.2490, or via email at bhatcher@wfpha.org, to discuss making a contribution to WFPHA.
