It is with great honor and commitment that I present my vision for the Eastern Mediterranean (EM) Regional Office of the WHO for the tenure of 2024-2028. The plan builds upon ongoing efforts in our region, supplemented by new programs, to address critical health needs. Aligned with UN and WHO master plans, including UHC and SDG initiatives, this plan maximizes impact by reinforcing implementation. Our diverse region faces myriad health challenges, from infectious diseases and non-communicable burdens to environmental risks and political instabilities. Complex solutions are needed. Some member states lack the capacity to confront these challenges effectively. Thus, empowering and aiding member states to prioritize and adopt efficient, affordable interventions for equitable progress is a central objective. My leadership is guided by inclusivity, collaboration, and empowerment, envisioning a shared regional vision of health and productivity. If granted the opportunity, I am committed to bolstering health systems’ resilience and sustainability, achieving comprehensive progress in promoting equity, health, and empowerment across the region. Active collaboration from all member states is vital for successful implementation, ensuring our collective dedication advances the program’s goals. Together, let’s embark on this journey with enthusiasm and determination, confident in the positive impact we can achieve on regional health and well-being.
