Membership of the Global Network is open to all healthcare services globally.
Healthcare services may join on their own or as part of a national or regional network.
Formation of national/regional networks is a key strategy by which the Global Network supports healthcare services and facilitates continuous improvement. Reflecting the value of networking and sharing of local experience, networks have been established across various countries.
