It is this time of the year again when member states meet to take stock and ponder on how to ensure the health and wellbeing of their citizens. The 77th Health Assembly runs May 27-June 1, 2024 | Palais des Nations | Geneva, Switzerland.
This year's theme of the Health Assembly is: "A world mobilized for health, health for everyone". Participants in the World Health Assembly include Member States, Associate Members, observers, invited representatives of the United Nations and other intergovernmental organizations and non-State actors.
The 77th World Health Assembly will be streamed live on the event's webpage in several UN languages: https://lnkd.in/db9kGt_z.
One key expected decision by member states that was triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic is the approval of the pandemic agreement. Over the last 2 years, months, weeks and days member states have been combing through the agreement word by word to decide a binding pact to protect all citizens of the world. This has not been a simple exercise, it is the first ever process to develop a proposed agreement on pandemic prevention, preparedness and response. All member states recognize that great collaboration and coordination are needed in the face of pandemics. While negotiations have been challenging at times, all countries agree that the world must be better prepared for the next pandemic.
