Commonwealth Health Professions and Partners Alliance


In 2009, the health professional associations accredited to the Commonwealth formed the Commonwealth Health Professions Alliance (CHPA). In 2020, the CHPA changed its name to the Commonwealth Health Professions and Partners Alliance.

The CHPA consider that by working together they can more efficiently and effectively represent and support health professionals in Commonwealth countries and promote high standards of care and equity in access to care for Commonwealth peoples.

CHPA changes its name


At its 12th Annual General Meeting in June 2020, members of the CHPA passed a resolution to change its name to more accurately reflect its membership and to be more inclusive. The new name is the Commonwealth Health Professions and Partners Alliance although the acronym CHPA remains. This is an exciting development for the CHPA to reinforce its dedication and determination to support health professionals and other health practitioners to improve the health of all citizens of the Commonwealth, particularly in these difficult times.

Release of CHPA Statement on freeze
of USA government overseas aid

Today, the CHPA released a statement about the USA government's freeze on overseas aid.

Read a copy of the statement:
>> CHPA Statement on USA freeze on overseas aid

CHPA members are receiving distressing information from across the Commonwealth of people, including children, uncertain of what lies ahead of them right now without essential medication, vaccinations, or other medical treatments; of local workers suddenly unemployed, without a wage to support their families, and with little prospect for replacement employment. For CHPA members, staying silent on this issue is not an option.
