The Public Health Bulletin (PHB) is a communication tool designed to provide decision-makers, health professionals, and the general public with reliable, accurate, and objective health information.
The CDC Foundation encourages the production of Public Health Bulletins around the world. It has developed a platform offering open-access resources for all countries that wish to establish a Public Health Bulletin or improve one they already have. This platform is called the Public Health Bulletin Hub (PHB Hub).
To support French-speaking countries in developing their BSPs, the CDC Foundation enlisted ASCA’s services to review the French-language version of the PHB Hub. A workshop to validate the work done by ASCA was held November 9–11, 2026, in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire. About ten participants from the United States of America, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Mali, Burkina Faso, and Côte d’Ivoire took part in this workshop.
Over the course of three days, the PHB Hub’s technical resources in French were improved. Discussions were held on the technical support to be provided to French-speaking countries. Workshop participants thanked the CDC Foundation and ASCA for their work and their commitment to supporting French-speaking countries in facilitating access to health information.
