WHA75: Global health leaders want WHO funding model improved

is a major tool needed if the world must achieve the Sustainable Development Goal 3 by 2030.The consensus was reached at a strategic roundtable during the second day of the 75th World Health Assembly currently holding in Geneva, Switzerland.

He said WHO has contributed to the “strengthening of a policy environment to enhance quality health service delivery to the people including a reduction in the prevalence of infectious diseases.” Mr Little said WHO must be appropriately and sustainably financed to effectively carry out its responsibilities. “Putting the WHO on a more stable financial footing ultimately delivers for us all and represents increased ownership for member states.”

He said WHO technical processes encourage health to health cooperation among member states and knowledge sharing among them. “I believe we could achieve huge flexibilities, efficiencies and have a much more integrated way of supporting our health systems in countries to be developed because I think it’s not only in terms of how WHO organises ourselves, deploys these resources in a region, which in hugely and multifacetedly challenged regions like Africa.”

In his remarks, Bjorn Kummel, chair of the WHA working group on sustainable financing, said the financing challenge has been considered one of the historic challenges for the global body.
