At a high-level side event at the Sixty-ninth World Health Assembly WHO and its Collaborating Centre, the Andalusian School for Public Health, officially launched the IntegratedCare4People web platform. The platform is a global network for sharing knowledge and leading practices, and for joint learning on transforming health services to become more integrated and people-centred. Intended for practitioners and organizations, the platform aims to improve health service delivery by curating high quality knowledge products and resources that provide technical and operational insight into how health services can be transformed towards this vision.

IntegratedCare4People is a collaborative web platform intended for practitioners and organizations in all countries – whether high, medium or low income, with mature or fragile health systems – who aspire to a future in which all people have access to health services that are coordinated around their needs and are safe, effective, timely, affordable, and of acceptable quality. All registered users of the platform may contribute resources and practices that align with the Framework on IPCHS, and may express their interest in either leading or joining online communities of practice.

The web platform is a joint collaboration between the World Health Organization and the Andalusian School of Public Health (EASP) in Spain in its capacity as a WHO Collaborating Centre on Integrated Health Services based on Primary Care.
