States Government has designated the Office of Global Affairs (OGA) and 
the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) as co-National 
Authorities to be the point of contact for implementation activities. 
The Global Code encourages WHO Member States to cooperate with all

Global Code implementation efforts to date and to provide a forum for 
questions on activities related to implementation of the Global Code.

attendance limited to space available. Individuals who plan to attend 
and need special assistance, such as sign language interpretation or 
other reasonable accommodations, should notify within their RSVP at
