The 28th Pan American Sanitary Conference and 64th Session of the Regional Committee for the Americas of WHO will be held in Washington DC from 17-21 September, 2012.  

See WHO Watch CSP28.  See also PAHO (PASC28/RC64) Documents Page for an overview of the issues which will be considered at this meeting.  

In addition to the flow on issues and new issues arising in the Region of the Americas there are a number of issues emerging from the recent WHA and associated discussions around WHO Reform.  The agenda for the 64th Session will also include: 

  • greater harmonisation across regions (see paras 28-33 of A65/5)
  • closer alignment between Headquarters, regions and country offices (see paragraphs 22- 27 of A65/5)
  • consideration of draft Global Program of Work (GPW12) and PB(2014-15) 
  • new reporting obligations for regional offices to Executive Board (under 'alignment' above)
  • rules for allowing observers at RC meetings (links with both harmonisation and alignment)
