WHO Calls for Elicitors to Help Develop Estimates for Global Burden of Foodborne Illness
The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued an open call for elicitors to help develop estimates of the global burden of foodborne disease by participating in a structured expert judgement study on the attribution of diseases to food and other pathways. WHO will begin selecting participants on September 15, 2023 and will continue until suitable candidates are identified. Applications can be submitted through a form on WHO’s website.
The results from the elicitation study will be included in WHO’s global burden estimates for foodborne disease, expected to be published by 2025. Selected elicitors and experts will be mentioned by name in related WHO publications.
