Youth PreWHA 2022 Sponsorship Prospectus
Thank you for considering working with the International Federation of Medical Students’ Associations (IFMSA). Since 1969, our global network of 1.3 million medical students from 130 countries has constructively engaged with the World Health Organization (WHO) to ensure active youth participation and engagement in global health governance. As global health governance is a complex field, there is a need to provide high-quality training to youth, to strengthen their health advocacy efforts as they endeavor to represent the youth voice. The Youth Pre World Health Assembly (Youth PreWHA) provides the opportunity for 60 youth health advocates from all over the world to develop skills, gain knowledge, and contribute to collective advocacy prior to the World Health Assembly (WHA). The Youth PreWHA training revolves around analyzing and exploring contemporary debates pertinent to the issues tabled in the agenda for the WHA. We are very excited to celebrate our 10th anniversary in the upcoming Youth PreWHA! Hundreds of our students have participated in the Youth PreWHA in the past 9 editions, and many have taken up positions as leaders in their respective fields. They have also taken up active roles in their national professional associations and joined various NGOs and international organizations. Their impact on global health is inspiring and it is a privilege to be a part of their journey. It is with great pleasure that we invite you to join the IFMSA as a partner of the Youth PreWHA to be held in May 2022, in the hybrid setting.
Together, let’s spark a sense of social and global responsibility amongst our future health professionals. Let’s improve patient care by investing in our future doctors and expanding their horizons. Let’s make the Youth PreWHA an event powered by you! We sincerely look forward to working with you.
