My deep appreciation goes to #WHA73 Madam President, Keva Bain, Permanent Representative of the #Bahamas, for her leadership under extraordinary circumstances during both the de minimis session in May & resumed session this week. @minnis_dr, @MOFABahamas, @MOHBahamas, @FinanceBAH

I also thank the Chair of Committee A, Dr Bjørn-Inge Larsen of #Norway, and the Chair of Committee B, His Excellency Mr Mamadou Henri Konate of #Mali, for their leadership in managing a full #WHA73 agenda.

Thank you to all @WHO Member States for their flexibility, goodwill and pragmatism in adapting to the constraints of dealing with a large agenda virtually, across multiple time zones. #WHA73

I also thank the @WHO staff who have worked incredibly hard to make the #WHA73 happen and overcame many technical and logistical challenges – especially the moderators, who managed the flow of interventions and ensured everyone was heard.

We look forward to working with all Member States to build a @WHO with increased capacities and the resources to meet their demands and expectations, promote health, keep the world safe and serve the vulnerable. #WHA73

We are #ProudToBeWHO – your WHO.
