标题：世界公共卫生协会联盟
简介
由于公共卫生协会是一个国家内所有相关机构、组织的集合体，因此该组织只接受各国的一个协会作为会员。设4类会员：正式会员（Full membership）、副会员（Associate membership）、地区会员（Regional membership）和支持会员（Sustaining membership）。 正式会员是国家级公共卫生协会，由多学科组成的非政府团体，能够代表所有从事公共健康工作人员的组织，在全体大会有1票表决权。副会员是正式会员以外的其他国家级多学科公共卫生协会，副会员有权参与对政策方案的制订并进行投票，但不担任领导职务，不参与管理。地区会员是地理区域的国家级公共卫生协会联盟，地区会员以观察员身份出席大会，应在本地区推行WFPHA的目标。支持会员是赞同联盟的原则并愿意在经济上资助联盟的团体和个人，支持会员不担任职务，对政策决定无投票权。 到1999年为止，已有58个国家的公共卫生协会或预防医学会加入了该组织。

History
The World Federation of Public Health Associations was formally established in May 1967 in Geneva'' Switzerland at the World Health Assembly. “A group of delegates representing 32 national public health associations convened and established the World Federation of Public Health Associations (WFPHA) with 16 core member associations1.” Among the founding members of WFPHA were associations from India'' the United Kingdom and the United States. 
WFPHA provided leadership for the nongovernmental community when it represented NGOs at the landmark WHO UNICEF Alma Ata Conference that established the mandate of Health for All by the year 2000. WFPHA leaders drafted the language that went into the Alma Ata Declaration. WFPHA renewed its commitment to primary health care and Health for All through its “Call to Action''” at WFPHA’s 9th International Congress on Public Health in Beijing'' China'' held in September 2000.
