InterAcademy Partnership (IAP) for Health

The InterAcademy Partnership for Health (IAP) is a network of the world's national medical academies and academies of science and engineering with medical sections that is committed to improving health worldwide. The goals of the IAP are to strengthen the capacity of academies to provide evidence-based advice to governments on health and science policy, support the creation of new academies, support the creation of projects by member academies to strengthen research and higher education in their countries, and issue consensus statements on matters of importance to global health. The IAP secretariat is hosted by The World Academy of Sciences (TWAS) in Trieste, Italy.
