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@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.

Hi everyone!
I'm very happy to announce that the Wikimedia Foundation Board of
Trustees
has approved the recognition of Wikimedia Medicine [1] as a Wikimedia thematic organisation.
Over the past several years, Wikimedia Medicine has successfully planned and executed a significant program portfolio, attracting new
contributors
and forming partnerships with both movement affiliates and external institutional partners around the world. Wikimedia Medicine is an ambitious, innovative, and highly effective organization that has demonstrated a substantial record of independent programmatic impact and continues to foster innovation and collaboration with numerous other entities across the Wikimedia movement.
Wikimedia Medicine's efforts to deliver critical medical information to underserved and underrepresented communities reflect the principles of infrastructure and inclusiveness espoused in the Wikimedia movement strategic direction, and represent a key potential area of growth for emerging movement communities. The recognition of Wikimedia Medicine
as a
Wikimedia thematic organisation reinforces the our movement’s shared commitment to this direction, and will support Wikimedia Medicine's
future
partnerships with high-profile government institutions and NGOs.
Wikimedia Medicine is our first truly global thematic organisation, and
we
hope that this recognition will be the first of many as our community of globally-focused Wikimedia user groups continues to evolve.
I want to thank everyone who has been involved with setting up the new thematic organisation, and recognize their commitment and patience over
the
past year as we've worked through the thematic organisation recognition process. Please join me in congratulating the entire Wikimedia Medicine team for their accomplishment!
Regards, Kirill Lokshin Chair, Affiliations Committee
