Guidance and Resources for Healthcare Professionals

In collaboration with top medical experts, Vennue leads the Global Health Workforce Initiative. This cutting-edge program enables healthcare professionals to connect across geographic borders and share best practices in order to collectively address today’s most pressing medical issues.

As part of the initiative, Vennue hosts Roundtable Q&A sessions, which provide accurate information and facilitate the exchange of current guidelines among pharmacists, clinicians, and public health leaders from the U.S. and developing countries.

Launched in February 2020 at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Global Health Workforce Initiative continues to help local providers support their healthcare teams and manage the emerging issues in their communities. Our vision is to change the course of human health.
