MMI contribution to WHO GPW13 consultation

Medicus Mundi International (MMI) "(...) Having assessed the draft from a global governance perspective, and taking up and at times quoting input provided by Network members, academics engaged in our work such as Remco van de Pas and Julian Eckl, and civil society partners such as the People’s Health Movement and IBFAN, we herewith submit the following initial comments for consideration at the upcoming Special Session of the WHO EB and in the further process.

The draft GPW is largely silent on WHO’s financial crisis or relates to the need of resource mobilization only in general terms

The draft refers to a separate “investment case” document : “WHO will strengthen its approach to resource mobilization. (...) The focus on impact will strengthen the case for investing in WHO. Value-for-money will be shown by clear measures of cost-effectiveness.” (Photo: United States Mission Geneva/flickr, CC BY-ND 2.0)
