OBJECTIVES OF THE
PROGRAMME :
Underlying Values and
Core Functions of WHO
All the Member States
of WHO in the South East Asia Region 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.
The South -East Asia
Region of WHO is made up of 11 countries, with over 1.8 billion people, with
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
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.
