In parts of Kyrgyzstan, seeing a specialist can mean a long journey.

A @JointSDGFund programme is supporting digital health solutions so family doctors can consult specialists remotely, helping diagnose conditions early & manage many cases locally. 📱🏥

WHO/Europe & Kyrgyzstan will keep working together to advance 🇰🇬 national health priorities.

At #UNGA, I met with Health Minister Erkin Checheibaev and welcomed the country's efforts in the development of the NCD+ Strategy, with a focus on strengthening primary health care (PHC) for prevention & health promotion.

I also commended President @sadyrzhaparov for his personal commitment to disease prevention & leading by example through a healthy lifestyle and passion for sports, especially football. ⚽

@WHO_Europe remains committed to supporting Kyrgyzstan in strengthening PHC, public health, noncommunicable diseases, digital health, and access to medicines.

WHO comments on United States announcement of intent to withdraw

Geneva – The World Health Organization regrets the announcement that the United States of America intends to withdraw from the Organization.

WHO plays a crucial role in protecting the health and security of the world’s people, including Americans, by addressing the root causes of disease, building stronger health systems, and detecting, preventing and responding to health emergencies, including disease outbreaks, often in dangerous places where others cannot go.

The United States was a founding member of WHO in 1948 and has participated in shaping and governing WHO’s work ever since, alongside 193 other Member States, including through its active participation in the World Health Assembly and Executive Board. For over seven decades, WHO and the USA have saved countless lives and protected Americans and all people from health threats. Together, we ended smallpox, and together we have brought polio to the brink of eradication. American institutions have contributed to and benefited from membership in WHO.

With the participation of the United States and other Member States, WHO has over the past 7 years implemented the largest set of reforms in its history, to transform our accountability, cost-effectiveness, and impact in countries. This work continues.

We hope the United States will reconsider and we look forward to engaging in constructive dialogue to maintain the partnership between the USA and WHO, for the benefit of the health and well-being of millions of people around the globe.
