Helena Mas Highlights the National Health Pact Reached This Year at the 74th Meeting of the WHO’s Regional Committee for Europe
The Minister of Health, Helena Mas, has highlighted the importance of the national health pact reached this year at the 74th meeting of the WHO’s Regional Committee for Europe. The pact is a commitment by all stakeholders in the health sector to work together to improve the health of the population.
The pact includes a number of key objectives, such as:
- Improving access to quality health care for all
- Promoting healthy lifestyles
- Preventing and controlling non-communicable diseases
- Strengthening health systems
The pact is a significant step forward for Andorra, and it will help to ensure that the country’s health system is well-equipped to meet the challenges of the future.
The 74th meeting of the WHO’s Regional Committee for Europe was held in Copenhagen, Denmark, from 11 to 14 September 2022. The meeting was attended by representatives from all 53 Member States of the WHO European Region.
At the meeting, the Member States adopted a number of resolutions on a range of health topics, including:
- The European Programme of Work 2020-2025
- The Regional Plan of Action on Health and Environment
- The Regional Plan of Action on Non-Communicable Diseases
The meeting also saw the launch of a new report on the health of the European population. The report found that the overall health of the population is improving, but that there are still a number of challenges that need to be addressed.
The challenges include:
- The high prevalence of non-communicable diseases
- The rising levels of obesity and overweight
- The increasing resistance to antibiotics
The report also found that there are significant health inequalities within the European Region. For example, people living in low-income countries have a shorter life expectancy and are more likely to suffer from ill health than people living in high-income countries.
The WHO Regional Committee for Europe is a key forum for discussing and addressing health issues in the European Region. The meeting in Copenhagen was a successful opportunity to take stock of the progress that has been made and to identify the challenges that still need to be addressed.
