👏We hear you, Norway!

At the launch of the new WHO report on the social determinants of health (SDOH), Norway's Minister of Health and Care Services, Jan Christian Vestre, highlighted that addressing social inequalities is not only good health policy but also a valuable investment in health and the economy.

He emphasised the crucial role of health taxes and mentioned Norway's recent ban on unhealthy food marketing as an example of measures introduced to protect children's health.

Thank you @DrTedros for the cooperation!

From pandemic prevention, preparedness & response, to SRHR, health system strengthening and importance of a strong, sustainably financed and accountable WHO - many areas of collaboration between Norway & @WHO 🇺🇳🇳🇴

We hear you Norway 👏
"People living with #NCDs have increased risks of mortality due to heat & other climate-related extreme events," @NorwayInGeneva at #EB154.
👏Also, highlighted the need for synergies between environment, economy & health, and multi-sectoral collaboration.

[Women In Global Health @womeninGH]

📢 Norway reaffirmed its commitment to #SRHR, recognizing its critical role in achieving #GenderEquality and sustainable development.
Expressed concern about contesting gender-related approaches that address the root causes of gender disparities in healthcare @WHO #EB154 #WomenInGH

[Women In Global Health @womeninGH]

While women make up 70% of the health workforce, they only hold 35% of seats at the @WHO #EB154 👩‍⚕️

Improvement comparing to previous years, still falls far short of gender parity. We need to do more to ensure that women have a seat at the table! #WomenInGH

[Norway in Geneva 🇳🇴 @NorwayInGeneva]

At #WHO’s Executive Board (EB), Norway’s Head of Delegation, Dr Cathrine M Lofthus, calls for sustainable financing of WHO.

Reforms towards more efficiency, increased assessed contributions and a successful investment round will make WHO fit for purpose going forward 🇺🇳
