#WHA74 today agreed to meet again in November, at a special session of the World Health Assembly, to consider developing a WHO global agreement on preparedness and response to health emergencies.
#WHA74 also agreed on a resolution reaffirming WHO’s role as the directing and coordinating authority in health during emergencies and beyond, and in aiding governments towards achieving resilient health systems and #HealthForAll.
The resolution calls on Member States to provide WHO with sustainable financing, while continuing their response to the pandemic & strengthening preparedness capacities, incl strengthening workforce, research activities, surveillance systems, & adopting a One Health Approach.
#WHA74 endorsed the Comprehensive #MentalHealth Action Plan 2013-2030, incl the plan’s updated implementation options & indicators.
For the first time, the plan includes an indicator on preparedness for providing mental health & psychosocial support during emergencies.
During the pandemic, the number of countries with a functioning multisectoral #MentalHealth & psychosocial support coordination platform in humanitarian emergencies has doubled. #WHA74

90% of Member States responding to a WHO survey in early 2021 reported that #MentalHealth and psychosocial support were included in their #COVID19 response plans. #WHA74
