  • Description:
    This document is for governments interested in producing a national public health bulletin (PHB). A PHB is the government's primary communications channel for disseminating timely, reliable, authoritative, accurate, objective, and useful public health information, including recommendations to the public and health professionals. ; This document introduces the concept of a PHB and provides practical action items to facilitate its development and dissemination. Part 1 includes the rationale for producing a PHB and summarizes the qualities that distinguish it from other government-sponsored public health documents. Part 2 describes activities and standard operating procedures necessary for producing and disseminating a PHB. Annexes supplement Part 2 by providing examples of work plans, position descriptions, and budgets. ; For governments in the first stages of producing a PHB, this document is a resource for getting started. We encourage governments to seek technical assistance and advice from experts and ministries of health of other governments that are establishing or have already established a PHB. ; Funding is provided as part of the Bloomberg Philanthropies Data for Health Initiative, www.bloomberg.org. ; Publication date from document properties. ; PH_Bulletin-508.pdf
