All sessions can be attended independently. Please register now to attend one or several sessions. And please help us disseminate this announcement among your staff, members and partners.
The content of the briefings and debates was shaped through the feedback received from G2H2 members, based on their scrutiny of the topics to be taken up by the WHO Executive Board. In the tradition of G2H2 briefings ahead of WHO governing body meetings, all sessions will start with analysis and proposals provided by civil society organizations, followed by responses by representatives of WHO members and the Secretariat (if available) and a general debate.
The meeting website and the enclosed compilation of leaflets includes abstracts of the five sessions and contacts to the organizing teams. More information such as detailed session outlines and lists of invited speakers will be added to the meeting website as soon as they are available. Please reach out to the session organizer if you are interested to contribute to a particular briefing/debate. For general enquiries, please get in touch with the G2H2 Secretariat.
Thanks for your attention, and best regards,
For the organizing team
Thomas Schwarz, G2H2 Secretariat
