WHO DG candidates go head-to-head in live debate
************************************************

Sunday 19 January, 14.00 to 16.00 GMT
[see below for corresponding times in your country]

Candidates for the top post in world health – the Director General of
the
World Health Organization (WHO) - will participate on Sunday 19 January
2003 in a two-hour question and answer session open to the public and
linked across the world via video and teleconferencing. The session will
take place between 14.00 to 16.00 GMT (see below for corresponding times
in your country).

‘This is a unique opportunity for health ministers, civil society
organisations and others with an interest in health to ask candidates to
address publicly the critical issues in global health today’, said
Andrew
Chetley, Director of Exchange – a networking and learning programme that
promotes effective health communication.

The videoconference will be broadcast on the Internet – go to:

http://www.ihn.info

to either listen (low bandwidth) or view (high bandwidth) the event. A
facility on the website will enable people to e-mail questions directly
to
the event in Geneva. Questions can also be e-mailed in advance to
events at ihn.info before 17.00 GMT on Friday, 17 January.

The videoconference will also be broadcast globally via the WorldSpace
satellite system – a unique technology that allows access to areas of
the
world with no internet access or telecommunications infrastructure and
will be rebroadcast throughout Brazil by Canal Saude.

The candidates will be asked a series of questions from audiences in
Geneva and around the world. International links will include the Nelson
Mandela School of Medicine and the Medical Research Council in South
Africa, the World Bank Institute and the George Washington University in
the USA, Canal Saude (Health Channel) in Brazil, and health experts in
Ethiopia, India, Japan and Sweden.
