Health Challenge 2026
|
Welcome to the Wikipedia articles writing challenge / competition to improve the coverage of health-related topics! Thank you for supporting global health!
Why?
[edit]Medicine has progressed a lot in the last centuries, and especially decades. Despite that, we are still nowhere near to curing all diseases and health problems, or even just spreading the existing diagnostics and therapies to all people that need them.
By this challenge we want to focus attention on what really matters - lives of humans and the planet Earth with all its inhabitants of diverse species. That way we can together spread trustworthy knowledge that can save lives “here and now” and also spread awareness about and hasten development of medical advances that will save lives and improve health way beyond what is possible now.
What?
[edit]
This challenge is organised by the Wikimedia User Group Esperanto and Free Knowledge as part of the project “SANO” coordinated by the Universal Esperanto Association, with partners Lithuanian University of Health Sciences and Civiencia with financial support by the European Commission's programme Erasmus+.
