ABOUT THE WORLD HEALTH ASSEMBLY

The World Health Assembly is the decision-making body of WHO. It is attended by
delegations from all WHO Member States and focuses on a specific health agenda
prepared by the Executive Board. The main functions of the World Health Assembly
are to determine the policies of the Organization, appoint the Director-General,
supervise financial policies, and review and approve the proposed programme
budget. The Health Assembly is held annually in Geneva, Switzerland.

Due to the ongoing renovation of the Palais des Nations, the number of rooms
available and their capacity is limited. Access to meeting rooms is restricted.
Additionally, there will be no side events held at the Palais des Nations. The
venues at the Palais des Nations are: Plenary -- room XIX; Committee A -- room
XX; and Committee B -- room XVII.

In view of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, in-person participants are requested
to wear face masks and perform a daily rapid antigen self-test.
