IHF network acts for transition to climate-resilient healthcare |
| IHF launches new logo and branding |
|
|
On 8 November 2022, the IHF General Assembly approved a statement calling for hospitals and health systems to address climate change as an integral part of healthcare delivery. This sends a strong message to all hospitals and healthcare systems across the world: they all have a role to play in their community and can generate positive impact for generations to come.
Here’s how you can help us to share this message in your network today. |
|
In our commitment to best represent the IHF and its members, the time had come for a refresh of our logo. The new design expresses the central role the IHF plays in facilitating knowledge exchange and the network of ideas between hospital leaders worldwide.
You will see our new look across all our programmes, social media, marketing and events starting now. Look out for the newly-designed website, launching next week! |
