Faces of health
The Seventy-second session of the WHO Regional Committee for the Eastern Mediterranean will be preceded by a virtual week, from 29 September to 2 October.
The week provides a platform to showcase progress on Regional Committee resolutions and host technical events that, in previous years, were often condensed into the main session.
Join us for the virtual week to connect, learn and contribute to the Region’s health agenda.
Integrated antimicrobial stewardship and infection prevention and control programmes in primary healthcare facilities: from resolution to implementation
The aim of the meeting is to showcase country experiences on integrating stewardship and infection prevention and control at PHC level, with an emphasis on monitoring and use of data for action. It also builds on previous resolutions adopted by Member States on AMR, digitization of health systems, and universal health coverage.
Building resilient communities for better health and well-being in the Eastern Mediterranean Region
The session is organized by WHO/EMRO in collaboration with the EMR Youth Council. It aims to showcase regional and country experiences in fostering community resilience, highlight youth-led initiatives that address health system challenges and equity, and strengthen collaboration between governments, civil society, and WHO. This discussion will build on the Regional Committee resolution on building resilient communities and provide an opportunity to explore how these commitments are being translated into action.
