WHO Webinar recording: New opportunities for air pollution and health education: launching an OpenWHO online course for health workers

In a landmark collaboration with over 30 international experts, WHO has developed the first WHO Air Pollution and Health Training toolkit specifically tailored for health workers (APHT) to be unveiled at the end of 2023. The toolkit includes downloadable and interactive training resources to inform and empower health care professionals. In anticipation of the toolkit’s launch, a readily accessible OpenWHO online training will be released at the margins of the 2023 UN International Day for Clean Air for blue skies.

The webinar aims to:

·         Launch the OpenWHO online course on air pollution and health: an introduction for health workers.

·         Showcase key initiatives aimed at raising awareness and equipping health professionals to tackle air pollution and protect public health.

·         Preview the upcoming Air Pollution and Health Training toolkit targeting health workers (APHT).

 

This event is part of the WHO Webinar Series – Clean air and energy for health: from evidence to solutions.
