Effective communication about health issues is a vitally important part of preventive health as well as managing health issues such as disease outbreaks.
The WHO Collaborating Centre for Evaluation of Communication at UTS provides advice and training to WHO management and staff regionally and globally in relation to formative evaluation to plan effective health communication and process and summative evaluation to assess the results of communication – also referred to as outcomes and impact evaluation.
UTS specialists in communication support WHO communication campaigns such as Communication for Health (C4H) as well as World Health Days and Weeks.
