WHO Framework on integrated people-centred health services website

Dear colleagues,

It is my pleasure to share with you the new WHO Framework on integrated people-centred health services website, housed within the Service Delivery and Safety department at WHO headquarters.

Why are we excited about the launch of this site?

At the Sixty-ninth World Health Assembly Member States officially adopted the Framework on integrated people-centred health services (IPCHS) and its supporting resolution, formally giving the WHO Secretariat the mandate to work across the organization to support the implementation, national adaptation and operationalization of the Framework. The new website aims to be a steward for the Framework – serving as an important medium for accessing information on the Framework, for sharing technical products and resources, and for communicating key news, events and activities taking place worldwide.

Three sections to visit:

- About the Framework – Development of the Framework, alignment with other WHO strategies, benefits of IPCHS

- Implementation of the Framework – Strategies, policy options, interventions, and a “Call for Action on IPCHS” (*expected release date: December 2016)

- IntegratedCare4People platform – A global network that invites practitioners and organizations to access and share operational and technical insights on how to transform health services to be more integrated and people-centred

Contributions welcome!

Are you or your colleagues transforming, or supporting the transformation of, health services to support the Framework on IPCHS? If so, we invite you to share your practices, reports, tools, and publications, as well as important news and activities on the IntegratedCare4People platform. For further discussion and collaboration on knowledge management and communications activities, please contact Stephanie Ngo ngost@who.int
