The HPH General Assembly (GA) is the supreme governing body of the International Network of Health Promoting Hospitals & Health Services. The General Assembly consists of all National/Regional HPH Network Coordinators, observeres from upcoming National/Regional Networks, HPH Task Force Leaders, Observers from the World Health Organization and representatives from the WHO Collaborating Centres in Copenhagen and in Vienna.
At the General Assembly meetings, however, only the National/Regional HPH Network Coordinators are allowed to vote. In this way, the International HPH Network is governed by the National/Regional Networks and, thus, the hospitals and health services all over the world, which it is made up of.

A document has been drafted outlining the Constitution's rules on how to vote and elect Governance Board members. The document clarifies the rules of the constitution and, thus, represents no changes. You can retrieve the document here.
