Consolidated Appeal Process 2011

United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon has called for USD 7.4 billion to provide urgent humanitarian aid to 50 million people in 28 countries worldwide. As Health Cluster lead, WHO worked with all health partners to elaborate the health component of the appeals, providing a careful analysis of the expected needs of affected populations and planning inter cluster cooperation to support the health of people in crisis situations.
