PHM-Exch> Call for watchers to participate in the WHO Executive Board in Jan 2022 (Virtual)

[Jyotsna Singh]

Dear all,

The World Health Organisation's Executive Board meeting is scheduled from
24-29 January. Please see the following call for WHO Watchers.

*Call for watchers to participate to the Executive Board in January 2022
(Virtual) <https://phmovement.org/who-watch-call-for-participation-2/>*

PHM is preparing to watch <https://phmovement.org/who-watch/> the 150th
session of the Executive Board of World Health Organisation. The session
will take place from 24 to 29 January, 2022. The World Health Assembly
takes place once every year and the Executive Board meeting usually takes
place twice a year. The agenda items of the session
<https://apps.who.int/gb/ebwha/pdf_files/EB150/B150_1-en.pdf> will include
issues such as public health emergencies: preparedness and response; road
map for neglected tropical diseases 2021–2030; the global health sector
strategies on HIV, viral hepatitis and sexually transmitted infections;
global strategy for tuberculosis research and innovation; and maternal,
infant and young child nutrition, to name a few.

Can you attend the WHO-Watch for the Executive Board 150?

Considering the travel restrictions, the WHO-Watch
<https://phmovement.org/who-watch/> will be an online initiative this
time.  We are hoping to create a team of watchers who will follow the
discussions of Executive Board. The WHO-Watch will also encompass a 6 day
preparatory workshop (2-3 hour session each day) on 13, 14, 15, 19, 20 and
21 January 2022. The workshop will help the watchers acquaint themselves
with the agenda topics and work on them.

Through Medicus Mundi International, watchers will be able to participate
in the EB virtually. They will be expected to work in shifts to utilise
time efficiently. Preference will be given to PHM activists and
younger people motivated to get involved with PHM.

If you are interested in participating in 150th EB as a watcher, please
fill the form below. Last date to apply is 21 December, 2021.

Note: As part of the work, we hope to have a preparatory call on 3 January,
2022 to coordinate the initiative better.
