As the end of the year fast approaches the
WHA team have been busy working on our
2019 plans. More details of these plans will
be released in the New Year, but I can say that
we have exciting new ways for members to
get involved in our work. Crucially, 2019 is an
election year for the WHA Board and I would
urge members to get nominating. You can read
more about this process on page 7
The WHA team have also been busy meeting
members and key stakeholders at conferences
and events. I was at the World Health Summit
in Berlin earlier this month looking to include
civil society’s voice in the Universal Health
Coverage agenda. You can read more about
this on page 7. WHA and NOhep also attended
AASLD’s The Liver Meeting in San Francisco
and I was at the World Innovation Summit for
Health (WISH) in Doha, reports from those
meetings will be in the next issue of hepVoice.
