Talk:World Health Assembly

Notes

good morning; I'm a roots and shoots volonteer who works in Burundi, I'd like to know more about the organisation.

Good morning. I have now added an external link to World Health Assembly documents, hopefully that would be of some help. Regards, El_C 10:08, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Edits

I have added considerable more information to the article, including information on WHA resolutions and several inline citations. I moved one sentence referring only to a quote by a specific person to the main WHO page (under "controveries"). Guptan99 (talk) 14:03, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Improvements needed

I would like to see more information about governance and roles, a list of WHA officeholders (including the WHA President), and an agenda for each Assembly and benchmarking or measurement of the achievements on those WHA's aspirational goals.

IMO, that would involve developing a (a) 'chart of officers' (but at least including information about those officers, some of whom have Wikipedia articles devoted to them - so there would be Wikipedia-linked names); links to other Wikipedia articles (MDGs and SDGs, UN, WHO, etc.); and some photos (if possible).

Malaria

Didn't the 8th assembly start the malaria eradication efforts? "In 1955 the WHO launched the Global Malaria Eradication Program (GMEP)" (Wikipedia article on malaria) . "In 1955, a first Global Malaria Eradication Programme (GMEP) was launched. This commitment to eradication was reaffirmed in a World Health Assembly resolution of 1969, and later reinforced in 2015 through the Assembly’s endorsement of the Global technical strategy for malaria 2016-2030 (GTS). It clearly spells out the vision of a malaria-free world."(WHO's Web page) https://www.historyng.com/events/eighth-world-health-assembly-held-1955 mentions discussion of malaria eradication. It seems worth mentioning since malaria is perhaps humankind's greatest killer.Kdammers (talk) 02:56, 2 August 2026 (UTC)
