Champions of Health

The distinction "Champion of Health" is awarded by the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) to exceptional individuals who use their influence and prestige to help raise public awareness about PAHO's work and its health programs in 48 territories and countries in the Americas and worldwide.

PAHO Champions of Health help expand awareness and understanding of these issues through prevention campaigns, public service announcements and video news releases. Champions also participate in press conferences as well as electronic and print interviews and deliver health messages that motivate a broad audience including government officials, policymakers, the media, communities and the general public. We invite you to meet our Champions of Health, a group of talented leaders committed to advancing PAHO's work toward Health for All.
