First COVID 19 Related Myths and Infodemics



UN MGCY member- IFMSA and WHO are collaborating on a WHO-IFMSA Fact-Check Map Survey, with the aim of collecting data about all the organizations, institutions, NGOs, universities, and other entities that are working on myth-busting, fact-checking and correcting misinformation about COVID-19.

What is the purpose and why are you important?

Besides the COVID-19 pandemic that the world is facing, we have another threat: misinformation! Every day, we are flooded with false or incorrect information that only makes it harder for countries to manage this crisis. WHO and IFMSA want to create a collaborative network of myth-busting and fact-checking that can protect communities from misinformation! And for that we need your help!

With this said, I ask for you to take 5 minutes to fill this WHO-IFMSA Fact-Check Map SurveyAlso please share and spread the survey within your members in different countries.
