WFPHA to Advocate for Equity and Human Rights at World Health Assembly: Emphasizing Pandemic Treaty

The World Federation of Public Health Associations (WFPHA)is set to play a pivotal role at the upcoming World Health Assembly (WHA), where it will continue its unwavering advocacy for health, peace, equity, and human rights. With a history of committed engagement in global health discussions, WFPHA’s participation at WHA underscores its dedication to influencing health policies on a worldwide scale.

A special emphasis this year will be on the pandemic treaty, a critical area where WFPHA has been actively involved as a representative of civil society since discussions began. The proposed treaty aims to improve pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response, and WFPHA’s contributions are vital in shaping a framework that is equitable and effective for all.

WFPHA’s advocacy efforts at the WHA will focus on ensuring that the treaty addresses global health challenges through a lens of fairness and human rights, advocating for policies that not only prepare the world for future health emergencies but also ensure that equity and transparency are integral to the global health architecture.

By championing these values at such a high-profile assembly, WFPHA reinforces its role as a leader in public health, amplifying the collective voice of its member associations. Committed to influencing the global management of health emergencies, WFPHA ensures that strategies are inclusive and equitable, leaving no one behind.
