The HealthCare Professionals, Academic, and Research Institutions Constituency brings together frontline health providers and leading research institutions to drive evidence-based advocacy for women’s, children’s, and adolescents’ health (WCAH). Healthcare professional associations (HCPA) play a critical role in delivering essential care across all settings, identifying emerging challenges, and championing policies that improve health services. Academic, research, and training institutions (ART) generate and translate knowledge into actionable insights, ensuring that advocacy efforts are informed by the latest scientific evidence. By combining practical expertise with research-driven solutions, this constituency strengthens global efforts to advance equitable, high-quality health care and policies for all.
