The 150th session of the WHO Executive Board, which ended on January 29, clearly showed that the vast majority of Member States support WHO’s efforts to create a strong, effective empowered, efficient, accountable, transparent and sustainably financed WHO, as the leading and directing authority on global health, echoing Director-General Dr. Tedros’s closing remarks.
For us as Special Envoys, and for most Member States, the benefits of an empowered and sustainably financed WHO, able to effectively lead and direct global health actions across the world, are obvious.
