ASIA PACIFIC FEDERATION OF THE HARD OF HEARING AND DEAFENED (APFHD) TO BE AS A MEMEBER OF WHO

 

 

It's a very good news for people with hearing loss in Asia-Pacific that Asia Pacific Federation of the Hard of Hearing and Deafened (APFHD) is approved to be as a member of WHO’s World Hearing Forum.   

 

The WHF envisions a world in which no person experiences hearing loss due to preventable causes and those with hearing loss can achieve their full potential through rehabilitation, education and empowerment. 

 

The goal of the Forum is to facilitate the implementation of the WHA70.13 resolution and support WHO’s advocacy actions in the field of hearing. 

 

Objectives of the World Hearing Forum: 

 

• Undertake advocacy efforts for galvanizing support and raise awareness for ear and hearing care  
• Promote networking for knowledge sharing   

 

 

Thank you and best regards,
