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.
