Dear All,
We are a global group of Wikipedia editors who contribute to healthcare
articles across various language Wikipedias. We have been meeting online
regularly to discuss the unique challenges we face in maintaining and
improving healthcare content. After many discussions, we believe it is high
time for healthcare editors to meet in person and collaborate more
effectively.
With that in mind, we are planning the first-ever *Wikipedia Healthcare
Conference*
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:SWASTHA/Meetups/Wikipedia_Healthcar…>,
scheduled for early next year. This conference aims to bring together
healthcare editors from around the world to share their experiences,
exchange ideas, and work together to improve Wikipedia's medical content.
This is just the beginning, and we want your input! We’ve created a basic
survey to gather feedback and ideas on how we can make this conference as
impactful as possible. Please take a moment to* fill out this community
engagement survey* and share your thoughts:

Additionally, anyone interested is welcome to join our periodic online
meetups. We’d love to see broader participation, both in our meetups and at
the upcoming conference. Our next *Community Meetup is scheduled for
Sunday, August 25th, 2024, at 8:30 PM IST / 11:00 AM EDT*. You can sign up
here:Wikipedia:SWASTHA/Meetups/25August2024 - Wikipedia
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:SWASTHA/Meetups/25August2024#Partic…>
The meeting link will be updated on the page and shared in follow-up emails.
*Please complete the survey by August 24th* so we can better gauge
community interest and make this conference a success.
Looking forward to hearing from you and seeing you at our meetups and the
conference!
Best regards,
