Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year's 73rd World Health Assembly has adopted a virtual setting that will see it take place via video conferencing technology. Additionally it also comes with a greatly modified agenda that currently only has four items with the intent of deferring most matters to a different meeting later in the year.

• Full provisional agenda: Document A73/1
• Abridged provisional agenda: A73/1 Add.1

The “abridged provisional agenda” of the World Health Assembly includes only four agenda items:

1. Opening of the Health Assembly 2. Address by Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General 3. Invited speaker(s) 4. Executive Board: election
