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

health systems, the circumstances and political economy under which they have
evolved and operate.
