The meetings of the ministers of health of the countries of the WHO South-East Asia Region have been providing a forum to discuss important health issues in the Region as well as to forge bilateral and intercountry cooperation and regional solidarity. The first meeting of the Ministers of Health was held in 1981 in Jakarta, Indonesia and since then the ministers have been meeting regularly. 2. The objectives of the meetings of the Ministers of Health are: To reinforce the commitment of the Member States to the attainment of the highest possible level of health for their people. To exchange national experiences on the social, political and economic dimensions of health in the process of national development. To explore and identify new avenues for further intercountry cooperation and collaboration in health and health-related fields. 3. The meetings of the ministers of health have focused attention on priority issues and have led to several important initiatives in the countries of the WHO South-East Asia Region. 4. These meetings have contributed immensely towards enhancing cooperation, reinforcing political commitment and, most importantly, providing an opportunity for Member States to “unitedly” tap the potential for ensuring the well-being of people of the Region. Report of the Twenty-eighth Meeting of Ministers of Health of Countries of the South-East Asia Region 1 5. In keeping with the spirit of cooperation, with effect from the Twenty-fourth Meeting Ministers of Health held in Dhaka, Bangladesh, the practice of adopting a ‘ministerial declaration’ on the current World Health Day theme was started. These ‘ministerial declarations’, which have since been adopted in successive meetings of the Ministers of Health, have served as an effective basis for Member States and WHO for working together towards achievement of the results stipulated in the World Health Day themes. 6. For example, the Twenty-seventh Meeting of the Ministers of Health held in Kathmandu in September 2009, keeping in view the vulnerability of the Region to natural disasters, deliberated on protecting health facilities from emergencies and also adopted the Kathmandu Declaration on the subject. The Declaration expressed the commitment of the Member States to initiate necessary steps in this direction and urged the Director-General and the Regional Director to continue to provide leadership and technical support in building partnerships in this area. 7. Also, concerned with the global recession, the ministers discussed the Impact of the global financial crisis on health and agreed to the need of effectively involving the private sector in this social cause. It was also agreed that governments should be ready to bridge financing gaps resulting from decreased ODA funds so that nobody is denied health care due to lack of means in line with the philosophy of universal access embodied in the PHC approach. 2 Report of the Twenty-eighth Meeting of Ministers of Health of Countries of the South-East Asia Region 8. There is a visible improvement not only in the quality of healthcare services but there is also a marked improvement in their accessibility in the countries of the Region; however, it is also true that more concentrated efforts are required. 9. The Twenty-eighth Meeting of Ministers of Health of Countries of the South-East Region was held in Bangkok, Thailand, on 7 September 2010, at the invitation of the Royal Thai Government. H.E. Mr Abhisit Vejjajiva, Prime Minister, Royal Thai Government, delivered the inaugural address at the joint inauguration of the Twenty-eighth Meeting of Ministers of Health and the Sixty-third Session of the WHO Regional Committee for South-East Asia. 10. Honourable Ministers from Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Myanmar, Thailand and Timor-Leste participated in the meeting. H.E. Mr Jurin Laksanawisit, Minister of Public Health, Royal Thai Government, chaired the meeting. H.E. Mr Ghulam Nabi Azad, Minister of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, was the Co-chair. 11. The agenda of the meeting included the following three items: Review of Kathmandu Declaration/Follow-up actions on the decisions and recommendations of the Twenty-seventh Meeting of Ministers of Health Report of the Twenty-eighth Meeting of Ministers of Health of Countries of the South-East Asia Region 3 Urbanization and Health Decentralization of healthcare services 12.

    NATURE | NEWS World Health Organization gets first leader from Africa Ethiopia’s Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus to head agency amid calls for reform. Declan Butler 23 May 2017 Fabrice Coffrini/AFP/Getty Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, from Ethiopia, is the World Health Organization's next director-general. The World Health Organization (WHO) has its first director-general from Africa. Ethiopia’s Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus will take the top post at the agency from 1 July — succeeding Margaret Chan — after winning a 23 May vote by WHO member states at the World Health Assembly, their annual gathering in Geneva, Switzerland. Tedros is a public-health expert who has formerly been both a health minister and a foreign minister in Ethiopia’s government, and he will lead the WHO for a 5-year term. He takes the helm troubled times: the WHO’s core budget — its dues from its members — is falling, and it is now dangerously dependent on the voluntary contributions that make up the vast bulk of its spending and often come with strings attached by donors. The agency has also often been criticized for its complex, bureaucratic and ineffective management structure. Chan has spent a decade (two terms) in office. Her leadership was criticized in 2014, when the agency was slow to respond to the Ebola epidemic in West Africa. That prompted several outside reviews and ongoing reforms of ways the organization responds to disease outbreaks.

    June 9, 2021 Thai Enquirer Summary Political News Today sees several hot issues that drive the already hot political temperature a few degrees higher. The biggest issue today is the fact that most major mainstream media houses are all now predicting a house dissolution by the end of the year and an election as early as 2022. To add fuel to the ongoing fire of possible house dissolution, the press conference by the 2014 coup leader and incumbent Prime Minister – Prayut Chan-o-cha, who during the press conference said “This government has a life of about a year and I have instructed all Cabinet ministers to be clear of any corruption issues.” This is the clearest indication that the government of Prayut Chan-o-cha is looking to dissolve the parliament. It was reported by Manager Daily that during yesterday’s Cabinet meeting the 2014 coup leader reportedly told the Cabinet ministers there that ‘this cabinet has 1 more year to go and after that we all will go our separate ways.’ Below are the front pages of some of the main media houses Daily News – Prayut sends signal of possible house dissolution Krungthep Thurakij - Says that accelerate the work as Prayut wants to show his work before house dissolution Thai Post - Govt. side’s 4 MPs to be prosecuted by NACC including Preecha.

  • Press Release on Ending Polio
    Press Release Embargoed until Thursday, 27 September 2012 12:30 p.m., New York time Global Luminaries Unite to Issue Urgent Call for a Polio-Free World New and Existing Donors Underscore Once-in-a-Generation Opportunity to End Polio Forever UNITED NATIONS, 27 September 2012 – In a display of solidarity, leaders from around the world today vowed to capitalize on progress achieved this year and to step up the fight to eradicate polio. Heads of state from Afghanistan, Nigeria and Pakistan stood alongside donor government officials and new donors from the public and private sector to outline what is needed to stamp out this disease forever: long-term commitment of resources, applying innovative best practices, and continued leadership and accountability at all levels of government in the endemic countries. “This decisive moment is a matter of health and justice. Every child should have the right to start life with equal protection from this disease. That’s why I have made eradicating polio a top priority for my second term as Secretary-General,” said UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. Polio is a vaccine-preventable disease that is more than 99 percent eliminated from the world. Today, there are the fewest number of polio cases in the fewest districts in the fewest countries than at any time in history. In 1988, when the global fight against polio began, there were 125 countries where polio raged. Today, there are only three: Nigeria, Pakistan and Afghanistan. India, long-regarded as the nation facing the greatest challenges to eradication, has been polio-free for more than 18 months.

  • Universal Health Coverage: Only About Financial Protection?
    B1 | UNIVERSAL HEALTH COVERAGE: ONLY ABOUT FINANCIAL PROTECTION? The struggle for health is partly about the struggle for decent healthcare and for functioning health systems that care for sick people and contribute to improving population health There is much at stake in health system reform, and not just the provision of decent healthcare The field is intensely contested among various parties (providers, suppliers, insurers and so on) who have a powerful economic interest in the outcomes of the debate Such interest groups project a policy narrative that proposes ‘public interest’ logic to their preferred pathways while obscuring their vested interests Getting a clear picture of the substantive policy issues and choices requires penetrating the fog and reinterpreting the rhetoric The pressures for health system reform arise in the systemic problems perceived by different players: community concerns about quality and access, Image B1.1 Community mobilisation can shape health systems: Women in India demonstrate against privatisation of health services (Sulakshana Nandi) GHW5 1st proof.indd 73 09/08/2017 16:50 74 | section b:1 the grievances of providers regarding conditions and remuneration, and cor- porate concerns about barriers to profitable engagement These pressures are variously expressed through community mobilization, professional advocacy, research findings, corporate lobbying and bureaucratic task groups Whether or not change takes place depends on the stability of existing structures and the feasibility of and support for available

  • PROF CHANG Hsin Kang: Good Afternoon, Ladies and Gentlemen. I
    PROF CHANG Hsin Kang: Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. I believe that you may feel a bit drowsy because you just had lunch. Perhaps you can turn the lights down a little bit, so that you feel more relaxed. Anyway, Prof Cheng just introduced me. Thanks for his very kind introduction. I am sorry that I really didn't have much time to prepare for the delivery this afternoon, but since the time slot has been given to me, I will just try my best. I was sent the topic of my speech only yesterday afternoon. It may not be a very relevant topic. The title of my speech is: 2C to 2C squared. This morning there was a very insightful and enlightened discussion. Last night there was a performance of Chen Qigang's new work. It's not really very new, but I think it's a very new performance in Hong Kong. It was Die Lian Hua. A lot of speakers have already mentioned that piece of work, so I won't spend more time on it, but I think it's a very attractive piece of work. It gives people a very strong impression, especially that he has made a very bold attempt to merge the western musical style and musical performance with Chinese traditional musical instruments. They have six different sopranos and different sounds. It's a combination of East and West, tradition and modernity. This is a very bold attempt and it gives me a very strong impression. It's really an example of cultural fusion.

  • 8 the World Health Organization, the Evolution of Human Rights, and the Failure to Achieve Health for All
    8 The World Health Organization, the evolution of human rights, and the failure to achieve Health for All Benjamin Mason Meier 1 Introduction Human rights are heralded as a modern guide for public health. Cited by health advocates throughout the world, the human right to health – proclaimed semin- ally in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and codified in the International Covenant of Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) as ‘the right of everyone to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health’ – has become a cornerstone of global health govern- ance. As a normative framework for international public health, the right to health is seen as foundational to the contemporary policies and programs of the World Health Organization (WHO). It was not always so. This chapter traces the political history leading up to WHO’s invocation of human rights for the public’s health. With both the UDHR and WHO coming into existence in 1948, there was great initial promise that these two institutions would complement each other, with WHO – as a specialised agency of the United Nations (UN) – upholding human rights in all its activities. In spite of this prom- ise, and early WHO efforts to advance a human rights basis for its work, WHO policy intentionally neglected the right to health during crucial years of its evolution, projecting itself as a technical organisation above ‘legal rights’. Where WHO neglected human rights – out of political expediency, legal incapacity and medical supremacy – it did so at its peril. After 25 years of shunning the development of the right to health, WHO came to see these legal principles as a political foundation upon which to frame its ‘Health for All’ strat- egy under the Declaration of Alma-Ata.
