The World Health Assembly (WHA) is the decision-making body of the World Health Organization (WHO). The main functions of the WHA are to determine the policies of the Organization, appoint the Director-General, supervise financial policies, and review and approve the proposed programme budget. The WHA is held annually in Geneva, Switzerland. this year's agenda can be found here.

As we did in 2017, Cochrane will send a small delegation to the WHA from 21-26 May 2018. If you are planning to attend the WHA or have any suggestions for the Cochrane delegation, please contact Cochrane's Senior Advisor (Partnerships, External Affairs & Fundraising), Sylvia de Haan.
