Reflecting the value of networking and sharing of local experience, the Global Network has established 20 national / regional networks across 14 countries.
Click on the name of a country below for more information about each national / regional network. For contact details please contact the Coordinating Centre.
The Global Network encourages healthcare services to make contact with their local network to benefit from these existing structures.
Healthcare services can still join the Global Network if no existing networks are available to join in their country or region.
More information about joining as a single member can be found here.
In addition to the healthcare service membership, our Associate membership (non healthcare services) which include public health organisations, academic institutions and non Government Organisations (NGO’s), we have representation across 12 countries.
