OpenWHO is the World Health Organization’s (WHO) new interactive web-based platform that provides online training to people who are prepared to work in epidemics, pandemics, and health emergencies, or who are already doing so.
The OpenWHO platform brings WHO and partner knowledge closer to frontline responders and decision-makers, and it provides information in user-friendly formats. The WHO’s Health Emergencies Programme’s Learning and Capacity Development unit manages the platform.
Users participate in a global, social learning network based on interactive, online courses and materials that span a wide range of topics. OpenWHO also acts as a platform for rapid sharing of public health expertise, as well as in-depth debate and input on major problems.
