What is RSS?
WHO news headlines and summary texts are now available via "really simple syndication" (RSS). RSS is a straightforward way for you to keep up-to-date with the latest news from WHO. Every time a news article is published on the WHO web site, you will receive an automatic update without having to visit our site.
What does an RSS feed look like?
Each RSS feed consists of the most recent news stories in summary form. An example of a WHO news release in this format would be as follows:
- Title: A globally effective HIV vaccine requires greater participation of women and adolescents in clinical trials
- Date: 31 AUGUST 2004 | GENEVA
- First paragraph: -- Greater participation of women and adolescents is needed in HIV vaccine clinical trials, according to a group of international experts, who attended a consultation on HIV vaccine trials in Lausanne, Switzerland, from 26-28 August.
