Let's celebrate the first anniversary of our GHU channels on WhatsApp!

🎉 It's been a year!

The Global Health Unit's WhatsApp channel celebrates its first anniversary.

A year of innovation, sharing, and connection serving healthcare professionals worldwide.

One year ago, we launched our WhatsApp channel to support our vision: creating a direct link between Sanofi's Global Health Unit and you, healthcare professionals around the world.

This channel has transformed the way we communicate, get to know you, and has fostered a true community of stakeholders committed to the same cause:

“Accessibility of quality medicines for people with non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in underserved countries”

🎤 Giving a voice to those on the front lines

To mark this important milestone, we gave you, the healthcare professionals in our community, the opportunity to share the impact of this channel on your daily practice.

🚀 Towards an even richer second year

We're already working on the editorial calendar for the second season. We're also open to any suggestions for topics you'd like us to cover.

The adventure is just beginning. Join us to write the next chapters of this wonderful story in service of global health! 💜
