Commonwealth Health Professions Alliance




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.

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.	2023 Commonwealth Civil Society Policy Forum SUPPORTING YOUNG PEOPLE FOR A SAFE, SECURE, HAPPY AND HEALTHY FUTURE A very successful 2023 Commonwealth Civil Society Forum was held 12 April.
