Along with newer declarations, the regional committee also reviewed the progress being made towards achieving universal health coverage and health-related Sustainable Development Goals as the member states shared initiatives and reiterated their resolve to accelerate efforts in achieving the global targets.
The press release noted that the three-day Regional Committee also discussed progress reports on previous resolutions including traditional medicines; strengthening health workforce education and training; and intensifying activities for dengue control and malaria elimination.
The resolution on decade of action to end viral hepatitis, HIV and STIs; universal access to people centered health care and services; progress and acceleration plan for non-communicable diseases and advancing health emergency preparedness and response in the region were also deliberated upon.
Reiterating WHO Director-General Dr Tedros key asks made in his opening address to the Regional Committee, Wazed urged Member States to engage actively in negotiations for the Pandemic Agreement.
The Regional Director thanked Member States for their generous commitment to WHO Investment Round, and reiterated WHO’s continued support to accelerate public health across the Region.
During the Regional Committee, Member States were felicitated for achievements and advancements in public health.
