The World Health Assembly is the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) decision-making body.

The assembly, which is held in Geneva, Switzerland, every year, is attended by delegates from all WHO member states, focusing on a specific health agenda prepared by its executive board. This year’s assembly will take place from May 22 to 31.

The WHA’s main functions are to determine the WHO’s policies, appoint its director-general, supervise financial policies, and review and approve the proposed programme budget.
