Letter from the Editorial Team
June, 2026
As we present the inaugural issue of the new digital format for IFHIMA Global News, we do so with a healthy dose of trepidation, excitement, and adventure. We strive over the next year to increase the frequency of Global News while diversifying the type of materials within each release. You will see new features such a tags for each article which will enable viewing similar content, videos and infographics, and more perspectives from members and students.
The path forward will have many traffic signs as we navigate new (and sometimes unforeseen) challenges while constantly striving to improve our Global News product and advance the profession. Please bear with us as we mature this digital format while maintaining true to IFHIMA’s vision, “A healthy world enabled by quality health information.”
