Dear National Counterparts,

 

Please find below the self-explanatory message from Dr Timothy Armstrong, Director GBS, concerning the:

  

List of Speakers for WHA71

We would like not only to encourage Member States to participate in this year’s World Health Assembly, but also to register for speaking in plenary.  The topic for this year will  be “Health for all: commit to universal health coverage.”

 

With best regards,
