The WHCA Team

Previously, I have worked as Head of Communications for the WHO Regional Office for Europe (Copenhagen), as Primary Health Care Fellow of the King’s Fund (London), as Regional Director for Central and Eastern Europe Project HOPE (Bratislava), and as a General Practitioner and medical director/CEO of California Health Leadership Inc. (Ukiah). I am a frequent facilitator and moderator at international health events and co-manage the WHEN and WHY communicator networks.
I have five children and enjoy cooking, hiking and reframing.

My name is Sabrina Cecconi. I am program manager at World Health Communication Associates (WHCA). In the past 9 years I coordinated the translation and adaptation of multi-country European projects on informational materials related to vaccination. I have a background in linguistics and over 20 years experience in translation with a specialization in managing linguistic validation and cross cultural adaptation projects for generic and disease-specific quality of life measures, patient diaries and patient education materials. I am a transformational activist, linguistic explorer, rights literacy advocate and listener. I film and creatively edit 1-2 mins short videos of interviews, conferences, meetings and workshops customizing them with the flavours and spices of the venues, countries, people and cultures I am filming. I am a native Italian speaker and I also speak and write fluently in Spanish and English. I have a basic knowledge of French. I have 2 + 5 children and enjoy running, swimming dancing, writing and doing non-native English reviewing/editing of health communication materials.
