New Delhi: The Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan will soon take charge as Chairman of the World Health Organisation (WHO) Executive Board, at the latter’s meeting on May 22.
“It is not a full time assignment. But Dr Harsh Vardhan will be required to chair the Board’s bi-annual meetings,” a senior government official told HT.
The WHO’s South-East Asia group had unanimously decided last year that New Delhi would be elected to the executive board for a three-year term beginning May. The 194-nation World Health Assembly signed off on the proposal to appoint India’s nominee to the executive board on Tuesday.
The Union Health Minister had on Monday participated in the 73rd World Health Assembly via video conferencing. WHA is the decision making body of the World Health Organisation.
