Health Is The Core Of Human Development

We Are Working Towards A Shared Vision Of The Future For Health Among All The World's People. A Vision Future In Which We Develop New Ways Of Working Together At Global And National Level. A Vision Which Has Poor People And Poor Communities At Its Centre. And A Vision Which Focuses Action On The Causes And Consequences Of The Health Conditions That Create And Perpetuate Poverty.

The Climate Challenge Illustrates How We Have To Change. The Developing Countries Need More Support And Opportunities To Develop And Use Clean Energy. Because If The Current Situation Continues, Then The World Will Not Be Able To Handle This Burden.

Since The Reduction Of Risk Factors Is The Scientific Basis For Primary Prevention, The World Health Organization Promotes The Development Of An Integrated Strategy For Prevention Of Several Diseases, Rather Than Focusing On Individual Ones.

This Is A Historic Moment In Global Public Health, Demonstrating The International Will To Tackle A Threat To Health Head On.

Let Me First Say That I Don't Think The Millennium Target Of Cutting Global Poverty In Half Is An Impossible Or Abstract Target. I Think It Is A Real And Achievable Goal.
