The World Health Assembly (WHA) is the decision-making body of WHO and is attended by delegations from all WHO Member States. The WHA focuses on a specific health agenda prepared by the Executive Board and its main functions are to determine the policies of WHO, to appoint the Director-General, supervise financial policies, and review and approve the proposed programme budget. The WHA is held annually in Geneva, Switzerland.

Participating in the WHA allows us to advocate for our strategic priorities both reactively, as we respond to the official agenda of the Assembly with targeted statements, and proactively, by driving that agenda through productive meetings with Member States and interactive side events.
