Mr. David Sergeenko Minister of Labour, Health and Social Affairs Georgia Your Excellency, I hope you are keeping well. It is a privilege to be writing to you to seek support for my candidature for Director-General, World Health Organization. You will be pleased to learn that I have now been officially nominated as one of the three nominees for the position, after being successfully elected by the WHO Executive Board on January 25, 2017. The election of the Director General of the World Health Organization will be held on May 23 and yours will be one of the 194 countries that will make a critically important decision, one that will affect every life on earth. In this time of growing wealth gaps, migration crisis, environmental degradation, humanitarian emergencies and disease outbreaks, your decision in choosing the next DG of WHO will directly impact the ability of the organization to lead action on health challenges, which are threatening to wipe out the developing gains of the last century. If chosen to be the next Director-General, I will ensure that I build a strong global team that restores the WHO reputation, accelerates reforms and delivers on it's mandate with the highest levels of transparency and accountability. My Vision for WHO outlines 10 pledges that will ensure that the World Health Organization doesn't just survive but that it thrives in the coming years. It outlines the qualifications, experience, energy, and personal qualities necessary to deliver on my vision. I am requesting in all humility that you choose me as your WHO Director-General. I am deeply committed to delivering on WHO's mission and ensuring that together we identify problems and fix them quickly. I also have the honor of enclosing a letter from H.E., the Prime Minister of Pakistan and H.E., the Foreign Minister of Pakistan; these have been sent rough the diplomatic channel already to their counterparts seeking support for my candidature and this is for your information. Also enclosed is a copy of the letter from H.E., Pakistan's Minister of Health, a copy of which you may have already received. In addition, I also enclose herewith my CV, and an aide memoire by the Government of Pakistan.
