- Country Influenza Stakeholders Networks: the movie
-
9 February 2012
The most efficient way to structurally lower the impact of influenza on a country’s population, is a combined effort by all parties involved. ESWI has been assisting the establishment of such networks in different countries for several years now. It’s Country Influenza Stakeholders Networks (CISN) concept has proven an effective methodology to tackle influenza nationwide and, ultimately, to enhance national public health. To paint a good picture of this concept, ESWI has now produced a CISN documentary, which brings you the concrete examples of influenza stakeholders networks in Finland, Austria and Turkey. The documentary is available online and can be used free of charge.
A separate video production accounts of the successful formation and outcome of the Finnish Influenza Stakeholders Network. This documentary is available here.
