Thank you, Kirill, and all who have been involved in
making this a
reality!
It's an exciting moment in our growth as an organization and we are
thrilled to be recognized as a Thematic Organization.
As Kirill mentioned, we do hope that this will lead the way for the
scaling of other cross-movement thematic efforts.
We look forward to continuing working with affiliates in the movement and
especially expanding our collaborations with affiliates we haven't had the
chance to work closely with, as we scale our efforts worldwide. If you are
interested in working with us, please feel free to contact us at:
wikiprojectmed(a)gmail.com
We look forward to meeting some of you in the Health Space at Wikimania
<https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2019:Health>, where you'll be able
to find out more about what we've been doing and how you can join forces
with us.
Best,
Shani Evenstein
Chairperson, Wikimedia Medicine.
