簡介
由於公共衛生協會是一個國家內所有相關機構、組織的集合體，因此該組織只接受各國的一個協會作為會員。設4類會員：正式會員（Full membership）、副會員（Associate membership）、地區會員（Regional membership）和支持會員（Sustaining membership）。 正式會員是國家級公共衛生協會，由多學科組成的非政府團體，能夠代表所有從事公共健康工作人員的組織，在全體大會有1票表決權。副會員是正式會員以外的其他國家級多學科公共衛生協會，副會員有權參與對政策方案的制訂並進行投票，但不擔任領導職務，不參與管理。地區會員是地理區域的國家級公共衛生協會聯盟，地區會員以觀察員身份出席大會，應在本地區推行WFPHA的目標。支持會員是贊同聯盟的原則並願意在經濟上資助聯盟的團體和個人，支持會員不擔任職務，對政策決定無投票權。 到1999年為止，已有58個國家的公共衛生協會或預防醫學會加入了該組織。

History
The World Federation of Public Health Associations was formally established in May 1967 in Geneva'' Switzerland at the World Health Assembly. “A group of delegates representing 32 national public health associations convened and established the World Federation of Public Health Associations (WFPHA) with 16 core member associations1.” Among the founding members of WFPHA were associations from India'' the United Kingdom and the United States.
WFPHA provided leadership for the nongovernmental community when it represented NGOs at the landmark WHO UNICEF Alma Ata Conference that established the mandate of Health for All by the year 2000. WFPHA leaders drafted the language that went into the Alma Ata Declaration. WFPHA renewed its commitment to primary health care and Health for All through its “Call to Action''” at WFPHA’s 9th International Congress on Public Health in Beijing'' China'' held in September 2000.
