IFCHC membership enables Community Health Centres and Community Health Centre associations to participate in a global network of community health leaders, sharing knowledge, resources and working collectively to advance common goals. The annual membership year runs from July 1 to June 30.

WHO CAN JOIN: Membership is open to all organizations throughout the world that satisfy the IFCHC definition of “Community Health Centre” as well as any association whose primary focus is to represent Community Health Centres. Section 4 of the IFCHC Constitution (2019) provides the definition of “Community Health Centre (CHC)”.

• Contributing to global awareness, recognition, and funding of the CHC model around the world
• Eligibility for all staff and board members to participate in IFCHC’s Global Networking & Knowledge Exchange Hub

• Access to IFCHC member logos that your organization can use to demonstrate your global leadership as an IFCHC Member.
