INTRODUCTION:
Underlying
Values and Core Functions of WHO
All the Member States of WHO in the South East Asia Region
(SEAR) share the common value of the highest attainable standard of health as a
fundamental human right. All of WHO actions are based on this and rooted in the
underlying values of equity, solidarity and participation.
The seven point global health agenda contained in WHO’s
Eleventh General Programme of Work (2006-2015) includes: (i) investing in
health to reduce poverty; (ii) building individual and global health security;
(iii) promoting universal coverage, gender equality and health related human
rights; (iv) tackling determinants of health; (v) strengthening health systems
and equitable access; (vi) harnessing knowledge, science and technology; and
(vii) strengthening governance, leadership and accountability.
WHO’s mandate revolves around six core functions: (i)
providing leadership on global health matters; (ii) shaping the health research
agenda; (iii) setting norms and standards; (iv) articulating evidence-based
policy options; (v) providing technical support to countries; and (vi)
monitoring and assessing health trends.
WHO – SEAR is made up of 11 countries, with over 1.8
billion people, including India’s population of 1.2 billion. The diversity of
people and health situations requires, on the demand side, a solid
understanding of the emerging socio-economic, epidemiologic and demographic
patterns and trends at both the aggregate as well as national and sub-national
levels, with due sensitivity to disadvantaged populations and vulnerable
segments of the society. On the supply side, it is equally crucial to have a
solid understanding of the commonalities and divergences of the health systems,
the circumstances and political economy under which they have evolved and
operate.
