WHO RESULTS REPORT 2023 SHOWS ACHIEVEMENT OF KEY PUBLIC HEALTH MILESTONES

INCORPORATING LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE PANDEMIC RESPONSE AND ADDRESSING EMERGING
HEALTH PRIORITIES.

The World Health Organization (WHO) Results Report 2023, the most comprehensive
to date, showcases achievement of key public health milestones, even amid
greater global humanitarian health needs driven by conflict, climate change and
disease outbreaks. 

The report is released ahead of the 2024 Seventy-seventh World Health
Assembly, which runs 27 May – 1 June 2024. WHO’s revised Programme Budget for
2022–2023 was US$ 6726.1 million, incorporating lessons learned from the
pandemic response and addressing emerging health priorities.  

With 96% of WHO country offices providing 174 country reports on achievements,
the report shows progress towards 46 targets and highlights challenges. 

Triple billion targets “The world is off track to reach most of the triple
billion targets and the health-related Sustainable Development Goals,” said Dr
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General. “However, with concrete and
concerted action to accelerate progress, we could still achieve a substantial
subset of them. Our goal is to invest even more resources where they matter
most—at the country level—while ensuring sustainable and flexible financing to
support our mission.” 

The report shows advancement in several key areas, including healthier
populations, universal health coverage (UHC), and health emergencies
protection. 

Related to healthier populations, the current trajectory indicates the target of
1 billion more people enjoying better health and well-being will likely be met
by 2025, driven primarily by improvements in air quality and access to water,
sanitation and hygiene measures. 

In terms of UHC, 30% of countries are moving ahead in coverage of essential
health services and providing financial protection. This is largely due to
increased HIV service coverage.

Regarding emergencies protection, though the coverage of vaccinations for
high-priority pathogens shows improvement relative to the COVID-19
pandemic-related disruptions in 2020–2021, it has not yet returned to
pre-pandemic levels.  

The Pandemic Fund's first disbursements totaled US$ 338 million in 2023,
supporting 37 countries to fund the initial response to acute events and scale
up life-saving health operations in protracted crises. WHO continues to work
with countries and partners to enhance genomic sequencing capabilities and
strengthen laboratory and surveillance systems worldwide with capacity increased
by 62% for SARS-CoV-2 between February 2021 and December 2023. 



Prominent points The world's first malaria vaccine, RTS,S/AS01, was administered
to more than two million children in Ghana, Kenya, and Malawi during the
biennium, reducing mortality by 13% among children eligible for vaccination.
WHO's prequalification of a second vaccine, R21/Matrix-M, is expected to further
boost malaria control efforts. 

Elsewhere, 14 countries eliminated at least one neglected tropical disease from
2022–2023. Bangladesh eliminated 2. 

The first-ever all-oral treatment regimens for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis
were made available in 2022, allowing the highest number of people with
tuberculosis to get treatment since monitoring began almost 30 years ago.  

Thanks to WHO's REPLACE initiative, which aims to eliminate
industrially-produced trans-fatty acids from the food supply, an additional 13
countries implemented best-practice policies, bringing the total to 53
countries.  

More than 75% of people living with HIV are receiving antiretroviral therapy,
with most achieving viral suppression -- meaning they cannot infect others.
WHO's guidance and support have helped countries like Botswana achieve
significant progress in controlling HIV transmission. 

Tobacco use is declining in 150 countries, 56 of which are on track to achieve
the global target for reducing tobacco use by 2025. 

An additional 29 countries developed multisectoral national action plans on
antimicrobial resistance during the biennium 2022–2023, bringing the total to
178 countries. 

Following the Director-General’s call to eliminate cervical cancer, another 25
countries have introduced the human papillomavirus vaccine, bringing the total
to 58 that have introduced the vaccine since WHO launched the initiative in
2020.  

The way forward The report acknowledges significant disparities in health
outcomes, disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and that persistent
health workforce shortages require investments in education and employment. 

Looking ahead, WHO's Programme Budget for 2024–2025 aims to balance investment
in the Organization's normative functions with the need to strengthen country
offices. It aims to fund 80% of the planned budget of high-priority items,
thereby accelerating progress towards meeting the triple billion targets of the
GPW 13 (current WHO strategy for the period 2019-2023).

Commitment to global health Thanks to the launch of the World Health Data Hub,
Member State access to health data and clearances of national estimates was
streamlined. 

Member States have shown commitment to sustainable financing for WHO, adopting a
path to increase assessed contributions to 50% of the base budget of the
originally approved Programme Budget 2022-2023 by the biennium 2030–2031.
Another element of sustainable financing is the Investment Round, which WHO will
launch at WHA77, to secure resources for WHO’s core work for the next 4 years
(2025-2028).  

WHO will work with existing and new donors and other partners, through an
inclusive engagement process that will culminate in a high-level financing event
in the fourth quarter of 2024.
