Yemen and joint mission with UNICEF and World Food Programme
Ambassador Ali Mohamed Saeed Majawar, distinguished Ambassadors and representatives, thank you for the opportunity today to brief you on my recent mission to Yemen and the health situation there. It was not by chance that my first mission to a WHO country programme was to Yemen. The dire situation in Yemen explains my leadership priorities: we must strive to provide universal health care in the most fragile and complex settings, we must ensure health systems have the capacity to detect and respond to unplanned events and circumstances —particularly from infectious hazards, we must ensure that our WHO country offices hav...

Universal health coverage: a political choice
It is a pleasure to be with you today. This is one of the most important events I will attend in New York this week. As you know, I regard universal health coverage as WHO ’s top priority.
