The Youth for Health Network
The Youth for Health (Y4H) network spreads across 45 countries. The Y4H charter was formulated based on discussions between delegates from these 45 countries over 4 days during GYM 2006 organized by SHAN. Several activities have been undertaken by Y4H delegates in their countries after returning from GYM 2006. Efforts are being undertaken to expand this network to include more members in participating countries and to countries which could not participate in GYM 2006.
