As 2023 marks the 75th anniversary of the WHO, this year's WHA will determine the immediate and longer-term future of the organization, starting with the program budget for the next two years, key decisions about the sustainable financing and changes to improve WHO's processes and accountability.
由于2023年是世卫组织成立75周年,今年的世界卫生大会将决定本组织的短期目标和长期未来,首先是未来两年的规划预算,关于可持续筹资的关键决定,以及改善世卫组织进程和问责制的变革。
During the 10-day meeting, delegates will deliberate about the critical role that the WHO has in the Global Health Emergency Architecture. The assembly will also review last year's progress, accomplishments and challenges along with future priorities across the key pillars of the WHO's work: Universal Health Coverage, Emergencies, Promoting Health and Well-being.
在为期10天的会议期间,代表们将审议世卫组织在全球卫生应急架构中发挥的关键作用。大会还将审查去年的进展、成就和挑战,以及世卫组织工作的主要支柱:全民健康覆盖、突发事件、促进健康和福祉的未来重点。
Peace depends on health, disease in one nation endangers all, achieving the greatest possible health for everyone everywhere relies on cooperation, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said in a video speech at the opening ceremony of the assembly.
联合国秘书长安东尼奥·古特雷斯在大会开幕式的视频讲话中表示:“和平取决于健康,一个国家的疾病危及所有人,实现全球每个人的最大健康需要合作。”
