NCCMMS at SESAM and the WHO Académie de Lyon

The Society for Simulation in Europe, aka SESAM, held their annual conference this year in Lyon, France.

NCCMMS was there with colleagues from healthcare simulation societies and organizations from around the globe.  A one-day symposium titled Simulation for Global Health: From Innovation to Implementation was held at the WHO Académie de Lyon on Monday, 15 June.

The symposium showcased SESAM’s leadership aligning the value of healthcare simulation to the mission of of the World Health Organization.

Founded in 1948, WHO is the United Nations agency that connects nations, partners and people to promote health, keep the world safe and serve the vulnerable – so everyone, everywhere can attain the highest level of health.

WHO leads global efforts to expand universal health coverage. We direct and coordinate the world’s response to health emergencies. And we promote healthier lives – from pregnancy care through old age. Our Triple Billion targets outline an ambitious plan for the world to achieve good health for all using science-based policies and programs.

The NCCMMS looks forward to supporting this important SESAM work.
