The HPH Governance Board (GB) is the executive body of the International HPH Network. The function of the Governance Board is to carry out decisions made by the General Assembly (GA), which is the supreme governing body.

The Governance Board ratifies new members, approves new networks, and carries out strategic work, advocacy work, and much more.

Aside from the seven elected members, the Governance Board also includes an observer from the World Health Organization (WHO) and representatives from the WHO Collaborating Centres in Vienna and Copenhagen. You can retrieve previous agendas and meeting reports here.
