The IBE eLearning Series on Health Diplomacy consists of five modules that provide learners with a deeper understanding of health diplomacy in the context of epilepsy advocacy. Specifically, you will learn about health diplomacy and policy advocacy, the role of relevant global actors like the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the International Bureau for Epilepsy (IBE), and how to make good use of existing policy frameworks like the WHO Intersectoral Global Action Plan (IGAP), the Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), and the WHO Epilepsy Technical Brief. Learners who complete the full course and associated multiple choice quiz will receive an official IBE Health Diplomacy Certificate.

When you’ve finished all five modules in this e-learning series, we invite you to take a multiple-choice quiz to obtain your Health Diplomacy Certificate.
