The 67th World Health Assembly, Geneva, Switzerland

The Sixty-seventh session of the World Health Assembly (WHA) takes place in Geneva, Switzerland at the Palais des Nations from 19–24 May 2014. The WHA is the supreme decision-making body of the World Health Organization (WHO). It is attended by delegations from all WHO Member States and focuses on a specific health agenda prepared by the Executive Board.

The main functions of the WHA are to determine the policies of the Organization, appoint the Director-General, supervise financial policies, and review and approve the proposed programme budget.

WHO’s Member States have endorsed global targets for improving maternal, infant and young child nutrition and are committed to monitoring progress. The targets are vital for identifying priority areas for action and catalysing global change. Learn more about the WHA 2025 Global Targets.
