Conference call: Inside the 72nd World Health Assembly

The 72nd World Health Assembly convened in Geneva against a backdrop of rising global health challenges, a vital year for funding replenishment, and ongoing reforms at the World Health Organization. Live from Geneva, reporters Vince Chadwick and Jenny Lei Ravelo gave exclusive insights into WHO priorities, the momentum — and hold ups — around the global response to Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo, transparency, and the push to achieve universal health coverage. Highlights from this 30-minute conference call include: • WHO transformation, and the reception of these reforms both internally and by the organization’s member states. • Background on the development of a WHO Foundation, plus other funding challenges. • Emerging priorities on the global health agenda — from a new snakebite strategy to the anticipated health worker shortfall.
