[Comment] Offline: WHO —a roadmap to renewal?

The honeymoon for WHO's new Director-General, Dr Tedros, is over. Now the serious work begins. At a special session of the agency's Executive Board next week, his proposed General Programme of Work (GPW) for 2019 –23 will be tabled, debated, and judged for the first time. This document represents WHO's promise to the world. In many ways, it conveys urgency and ambition. The agency's mission is to promote health, keep the world safe, and serve the vulnerable. It will do so by achieving a “triple billion” target—1 billion more people with health coverage, 1 billion more people made safer, and 1 billion more people whose lives are improved.
