Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization, shared a post on X:
“Grateful to IPU parliament for brining parliament speakers and members from around the world to WHA 79 to address two defining priorities of our time: how to translate the WHO Pandemic Agreement into national reality, and how to ensure sustainable financing for health.
Global agreements do not save lives, implementation does. And implementation depends on parliamentarians. That is why the partnership between WHO and the Inter-Parliamentary Union is so important.
Special thanks to my brother, Martin Chungong, for whom this is the last World Health Assembly as Secretary-General of the IPU. From shaping parliamentary engagement in health to establishing the annual Global Parliamentary Forum at the World Health Assembly, his vision has created a unique platform that connects global commitments with national action.”
