In order to hasten the implementation of the 13th General Programme of Work, the World Health Organization has reappointed Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus to a second five-year term as Director-General, along with new members of its leadership team in Geneva.

The organization, which began by setting its aims for the next five years, is eager to reach certain milestones and health-related sustainable development goals.

The five years plan is focused on five priorities, the first of which is making a paradigm shift towards promoting health and preventing disease by addressing its root causes, and the second is radically reorienting health systems towards primary health care.

Strengthening the systems for health emergency preparedness and response is the third priority, followed by leveraging the power of science, innovation, data, and technologies to advance health, and strengthening WHO as the foremost authority on global health and having an impact in countries as the fourth and final priority.

According to the organization’s official page, the headquarters leadership team, which will include an equal number of men and women, will collaborate with WHO regional and country offices.
