Amidst the ongoing pandemic and other emergencies, the 75th World Health Assembly (WHA) will bring together heads of state, ministers of health, and other global health leaders in-person for the first time in three years to work toward stronger capacities and systems to ensure health and well-being for all.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT THE 75^TH WORLD HEALTH ASSEMBLY

This year’s WHA includes a packed agenda focused on a range of issues—from health emergencies preparedness and response to the rise of non-communicable diseases. Other items on the agenda include the pathway to polio eradication, prevention of obesity and harmful use of alcohol, building a stronger healthcare workforce, promotion of mental health, and progress toward Immunization Agenda 2030.

The agenda will also feature the election of the Director-General and an important conversation on how to strengthen the World Health Organization, including its financing.

In addition to the official agenda, Member States and non-state actors will host a wide range of convenings at various locations around Geneva and online. You can get the most up-to-date information over the course of the Assembly by following WHO and UN Foundation on social media (#WHA75).
