The 78th World Health Assembly « One World for Health »

The 78th World Health Assembly (WHA) will take place in Geneva, Switzerland, from 19 to 27 May 2025. The WHA is the highest decision-making body of the World Health Organization (WHO), gathering annually, and composed of delegations from all 194 Member States (MS). The WHA discusses and votes on the decisions and resolutions prepared by either WHO's Executive Board, its Director-General, or proposed by groups of MS. The Executive Board is composed of 34 individuals elected for three years, and its annual meeting takes place in January. The theme for the 78th WHA is "One World for Health". The decisions and resolutions will fall under four pillars, three of which contribute to the "triple billion targets" defined in the previous General Programme of Work (GPW13): - One billion more people benefiting from universal health coverage (Pillar 1) - One billion more people better protected from health emergencies (Pillar 2) - One billion more people enjoying better health and well-being (Pillar 3) - More effective and efficient WHO providing better support to countries (Pillar 4)
