REPORT OF THE REGIONAL COMMITTEE REPORT OF THE REGIONAL COMMITTEE 3

I. INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY

The fifty-ninth session of the WHO Regional Committee for the Western Pacific was held in Manila, Philippines, from 22 to 26 September 2008. The session was attended by representatives of Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, China, Cook Islands, Fiji, Hong Kong (China), Japan, Kiribati, the Lao People's Democratic Republic, Macao (China), Malaysia, the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, Mongolia, Nauru, New Zealand, Niue, Palau, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, the Republic of Korea, Samoa, Singapore, Solomon Islands, Tokelau, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu and Viet Nam, and by representatives of France, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the United States of America as Member States responsible for areas in the Region.

Representatives of the Asian Development Bank; the ASEAN Secretariat; the Commonwealth Secretariat; the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations; the Global Alliance for Vaccine and Immunization; the Global Fund to Fight Aids, Tuberculosis and Malaria; the International Agency for Research on Cancer; the Secretariat of the Pacific Community; the United Nations Children's Fund; the United Nations Population Fund; the Association of Korean Oriental Medicine; the Asian Medical Students' Association International; the Chinese University of Hongkong; Griffith University; and 20 nongovernmental organizations also attended.

At the opening ceremony, the Mayor of the City of Manila, Mr Alfredo Lim; the Secretary of the Department of Health, Dr Francisco Duque III; and the Vice-President of the Philippines, the Honourable Mr Noli de Castro, welcomed the participants. The DIRECTOR-GENERAL commended the "centres of vitality" programme in the Philippines which represented an innovative approach that held lessons for other countries. The REGIONAL DIRECTOR noted the recent considerable progress in public health in the Philippines. The retiring CHAIRPERSON of the Regional Committee, Dr Chang Jin Moon, recalled the commitment made at the previous year's session to strengthening health systems for improved health outcomes and asked the representatives to continue to extend that support to address increasing health challenges.

The Committee elected the following officers:

Chairperson: Dr Francisco Duque III (Philippines) Vice-Chairperson: Mr Iakoba Italeli (Tuvalu)

Rapporteurs

in English: Professor Chew Suok Kai (Singapore) in French: Dr Sok Touch (Cambodia)

At the first meeting, the DIRECTOR-GENERAL paid tribute to Dr Omi for a decade of outstanding health leadership in the Western Pacific Region and addressed the Committee.

The Committee then went into private session to consider nominations for the post of Regional Director. The Committee nominated Dr SHIN Young Soo (Republic of Korea). The appointment, for a period of five years beginning I February 2009, was to be proposed to the Executive Board (resolution WPRlRC59.RI). At the third meeting, the Committee adopted a resolution expressing appreciation to Dr S. Omi for the 4 REGIONAL COMMITTEE: FIFn'-NINTH SESSION

contribution he had made as Regional Director for the Westl!rn Pacific over the past 10 years (resolution WPRJRC59.R2).

At the second meeting, the Report of the Regional Dire:ctor on the work of WHO during the period I July 2007 to 30 June 2008, Dr Omi's 10th and final report to the Regional Committee, was presented and discussed.

The final report on the budget performance of the Programme Budget 2006-2007 was discussed at the third meeting. Introducing the agenda item, the Director, Programme Management explained that the regular budget approved by the World Health Assembly in 2005 had amounted to US$ 76 505 000, a 6.2% increase from the 2004-2005 approved budget. The revised working allocation, as at 31 December 2007, had been US$ 74 748 000, 100% of which had been obligated. Activities financed from other sources had amounted to US$ 101 425481.

The third meeting continued with presentation and discus.sion of the draft Proposed Programme Budget 20 I 0-20 11. The Regional Director reminded the Committee that it was the second biennial budget under the six-year Medium-term Strategic Plan and the six1h to follow the Organization-wide, results-based approach to programme management. The Proposed Programme Budget 2010-2011 would be developed in close collaboration between WHO country offices, the Regional Office and WHO Headquarters, and would be presented during the sixtieth session of the Regional Committee in 2009 (resolution WPRJRC59.R3).

The Regional Committee was then asked to discuss and provide guidance on future directions for strengthening health systems in the Region and to renew its commitment to primary health care. In addition, the Committee discussed the recommendations of an expert group, convened in August 2008, that the Regional Office should increase its analytical capacity and evidence on country-specific health systems issues and share that information through a mechanism such as an Asia Pacific observatory on health systems and policies.

At the fourth meeting, the Regional Committee continued its discussion of health systems strengthening and primary health care. Reaffirming its commitment to primary health care and acknowledging the need to strengthen health systems as an effective means to accelerate the achievement of global health goals and improve health outcomes for all, the Committee urged Member States: (I) to take urgent action to further strengthen their health systems in response to the health needs of their populations, especially the poor and other vulnerable and socially excluded groups, based on the values and principles of primary health care as their guiding framework; (2) to collaborate in efforts to increase the capacity in the Region to analyse country­ specific health systems issues and challenges and assess health systems performance through a mechanism such as an Asia Pacific Observatory on Health Systems and Policies; and (3) to improve health outcomes by, among other things, making significant progress towards achieving the health-related Millennium Development Goals and the universal goal of "health for all" (resolution WPRlRC59.R4).

The Regional Committee then turned its attention to prevention and control of noncommunicable diseases. The burden of noncommunicable disease was recognized as a critical factor in health and development, especially in the Western Pacific, and the Committee was asked to review and endorse the draft Western Pacific Regional Action Plan for Noncommunicable Diseases as the Region's collective response to the requests for action on noncommunicable diseases in previous years (resolution WPRJRC59.R5). Endorsement of the Plan REPORT OF THE REGIONAL COMMITfEE 5

would take the Region to the next level in addressing an urgent and growing threat to the health and economic well-being ofthe Western Pacific.

The discussion on noncommunicable diseases continued at the fifth meeting. Comments centred on Member States' national situations as regards prevention and control of noncommunicable diseases, with support expressed for the Regional Action Plan.

The Committee then discussed the establishment of centres of the Regional Office in countries. Although previously brought up in informal discussions, the Committee was asked to give its views and provide policy direction on the issue. There was general agreement that the Secretariat should review all the details and present the options to the Regional Committee at its sixtieth session.

The fifth meeting concluded with the discussion of the Dengue Strategic Plan of Action which: (I) recommended concrete steps to reduce the case fatality rate, while providing sound guidance on the environmental management of urban development and vector control; (2) encouraged Member States to educate their populations on the prompt recognition of dengue and the need to seek medical care early; and (3) called for improved surveillance and data reporting, allowing public health professionals to analyse trends and improve outbreak response preparedness.

At its sixth meeting, the Regional Committee continued with the discussion of the Dengue Strategic Plan for the Asia Pacific Region. The Committee urged Member States to foster and support inter-programmatic, interagency, intersectoral and intercountry collaboration for outbreak response and greater community and education involvement in source reduction, early recognition of dengue fever complications at the household level, and timely referral of complicated cases. It also urged the use of the Dengue Strategic Plan for the Asia Pacific Region as a road map in the development or improvement of national plans and as a framework for monitoring implementation of national programmes (resolution WPRIRC59.R6).

The agenda item on protecting health from the effects of climate change was then discussed by the Committee. The Regional Framework for Action to Protect Human Health from the Effects of Climate Change, developed as a result of two regional consultations with Member States by the Regional Office for South-East Asia and the Regional Office for the Western Pacific, proposed recommended actions to be taken by governments and by WHO in three areas. The first was increasing awareness of the health consequences of climate change. The second area was strengthening the capacity of health systems to provide protection from climate-related risks. The third area was ensuring that health concerns were addressed in decisions to reduce risks from climate change in other key sectors. It also proposed that the health sector should participate more actively in national and international processes related to climate change. Establishing effective regional mechanisms for sharing information and expertise was also recommended.

The Committee had recognized with concern the recent findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that the effects of temperature increases on some aspects of human health were already being observed, and that the net global effect of projected climate change on human health was expected to be negative, especially in developing countries, small island developing states and vulnerable local communities. It urged Member States to strengthen existing health infrastructure and human resources, as well as surveillance, early warning, and communication and response systems for climate-sensitive risks and diseases and assess the health implications of the decisions made on climate change by other sectors, such 6 REGIONAL COMMITTEE: FIFTY-NINTH SESSION

as urban planning, transport, energy supply, food production and water resources, and advocate for decisions that provide opportunities for improving health (resolution WPRlRC59.R7).

At its seventh meeting, the Committee discussed the progress reports on avian and pandemic influenza; vaccine-preventable diseases, such as poliomyelitis and measles; HN/AIDS, including sexually transmitted infections; tuberculosis; tobacco control; and the People at the Centre of Care Initiative.

The eighth meeting began with the discussion of the coordination of the work of the World Health Assembly, the Executive Board and the Regional Committee. The Committee commented on regional implication on resolutions adopted by Sixty-first World Health Assembly on strategies to reduce the harmful use of alcohol, monitoring of the achievement of the health-related Millennium Development Goals, and the biennial progress report on infant and young child nutrition.

The meeting continued with the CHAIRPERSON reporting to the Regional Committee on the discussions held at an informal consultative meeting of Member States with seats of government in the Region. With regard to the regional rotation of the post of Director-General, which had been discussed at the I 22nd session of the Executive Board in January 2008, it was agreed that the current system for the nomination of the Director-General worked and should not be changed.

With regard to the procedure for nomination of the Regional Director, the Chairperson proposed to the Committee that an item on the procedure for nomination of the Regional-Director should be included in the agenda of the sixtieth session of the Regional Committee and that the Legal Counsel should prepare a report on ways to improve the fairness of the nomination procedure, including options to address issues raised by Member States, taking into account best practices in WHO and other United Nations agencies.

The Committee then selected Japan to serve on the Policy and Coordination Committee of the Special Programme of Research, Development and Research Training in Human Reproduction (decision WPRlRC59(1 )).

Regarding future sessions, the Regional Committee decided that the sixtieth session will be held in Hong Kong (China), from 21 to 25 September 2009, and heard an invitation from Fiji to host the sixty-first session in 2010. The Regional Committee expressed its appreciation to Hong Kong (China) and Fiji for their kind invitations (resolution WPRlRC59.R8).

At the closure of the session, the REGIONAL DIRECTOR said that the Region faced two types of challenge: the unfinished agenda of communicable and noncommunicable diseases, in which much progress had nevertheless been made; and the new challenges of health systems strengthening and the health effects of climate change. The CHAIRPERSON thanked the Regional Director for his leadership and welcomed Dr SHIN Young Soo, the Regional Director-nominee. The Regional Director and the Regional Committee thanked the following: (I) the Government ofthe Republic ofthe Philippines for its hospitality, including the excellent arrangements at the opening ceremony; (2) the Chairperson, Vice-Chairperson and Rapporteurs; and (3) the representatives of the intergovernmental and nongovernmental organizations for their oral and written statements (resolution WPRlRC59.R9).

WPRlRC59.R7 PROTECTING HEALTH FROM THE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE

The Regional Committee,

Recalling resolution WHA51.29 on the protection of human health from risks related to climate change and stratospheric ozone depletion, resolution WHA61.19 on climate change and health, and resolution WPRlRC56.R7 on environmental health, all of which call for action to reduce the health impact of climate change;

Recognizing with concern the recent findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that the effects of temperature increases on some aspects of human health are already being observed, and that the net global effect of projected climate change on human health is expected to be negative, especially in developing countries, small island developing states and vulnerable local communities;

Noting with concern that the regional consultations held in 2007 identified current and emerging climate change-related health risks in the Region to include heat stress and waterborne and foodborne diseases associated with extreme weather events, vectorborne diseases, respiratory diseases due to air pollution and aeroallergens, food and water insecurity, malnutrition and psychosocial impacts from displacement;

Mindful that there are ongoing efforts to improve health systems to combat these health impacts, but climate change may require additional efforts to strengthen adaptive capacity of health systems to climate change;

Acknowledging that capacity to assess and minimize the health risks of climate change is limited, particularly in developing countries, especially Pacific island countries and areas;

Noting that WHO will present a draft workplan to the Executive Board at its 124th session on addressing the implications of climate change for health and health systems;

Recognizing the need for the health sector to advocate for decisions on mitigation and adaptation to climate change by other sectors, which wiII protect and promote health at the same time, and participate in the national and international processes that guide policy and resources for work on climate change;
