WHO Action Network on Measuring Population and Organizational Health Literacy (M-POHL)
Health literacy is increasingly on the political agenda of the member states of WHO Europe. The Action Network on Measuring Population and Organizational Health Literacy (M-POHL) was founded under the umbrella of WHO´s European Health Information Initiative (EHII) in February 2018 with the adoption of the Vienna Statement on the measurement of population and organizational health literacy in Europe in order to add value to national efforts in improving health literacy. According to M-POHL’s Concept Note, the main aim of the network is to generate data on population and organizational health literacy to support evidence-informed (policy) decisions and interventions. In the Governance and Work Structure of M-POHL roles, responsibilities and decision structures in the M-POHL Action Network are outlined in detail. For more details see the Factsheet M-POHL.
