Dr Walid Ammar - Director General of Health – was elected chairman for Committee A.
The World Health Assembly spent eight days working through a broad agenda developed by the previous Executive Board. Member States reached agreements that expand the capacity of all countries to respond to pandemic influenza and other emergencies, strengthen health systems to improve access to quality care, tackle chronic non-Communicable diseases, and give the world a better chance to reach the health-related MDGs.
