8/10/2019 Details About WHO HIV Call
1/1
Dear IPSFers
You may notice that the WHA callwas released earlier this year,
but this is for better overallorganization. We want to avoid
expensive plane tickets, visa issues, or any kind of issues. If you
havenot already, you can see the call by clickinghere.
Important things to notice are the change in procedures, this
year we will have a form and a CV,instead of a motivation letter
and CV. Also, everyone (even past ExCo) are required to apply
withinthe deadline.
We have been getting many questions about the financial
implications of the event. Well, apart fromvisa costs, tickets and
travel insurance, which vary greatly, here are some tips. These are
just someexperiences from the 2014 WHA delegation, but everyone has
a different style in terms of what
they eat, necessities, etc.
1) We suggest everyone books at the Youth Hostel Geneva (you can
check prices online for thedifferent room options). Last year we
spent about 21 per night per person staying in France (justacross
the border) but had to pay for our transportation to and from
Geneva.
2) Transportation. If you stay in Geneva, many hostel offer a
free transport card. For those that do nothave this, last year we
paid 38 CHF for week pass.
3) Food. As mentioned, this will depend on the person so it is
very hard to give an estimate. Last year,the caffeteria in the UN
would sold sandwiches for 6 CHF, lunch for 8-15 CHF, coffee for 2
CHF andsnacks for 2-5 CHF. Since we were in France, we had dinner
there for about 9-13 a pizza. The onetime we had dinner out in
Switzerland it was about 25 CHF per person (in a nice place).
Furthermore,
sometimes we were able to have free snacks during side events in
WHA.
Please, keep in mind that prices vary per year and per
person.
While the selection procedures for this year have been defined,
if you like to make a suggestion fornext year or any suggestion at
all, please contact me ([email protected])and Ana, our
PublicHealth Advocacy Coordinator ([email protected]). The
same goes for any questions you mayhave.
If you need some inspiration:WHA gave me the opportunity to see
the bigger picture, to grasp the size of the global health
topicsand to understand that there is still so much left to be
done. I am proud to have been a part of theIPSF WHA 2014 delegation
and to have taken part in the policy making process which
finally
delivered its statements to the international community
regarding important health topic in the name ofthe pharmaceutical
students worldwide.- Ura JarcBlog post:WHA: An Amazing
