Introduction
The World Health Organization (WHO) Western Pacific Region is home to nearly 1.9 billion people, or more than one quarter of the world’s population, spread across 27 countries and 10 areas. This document, For the Future: Towards the Healthiest and Safest Region, sets out thematic priorities for WHO work in the Western Pacific Region for the next five years, as well as a series of ideas for collectively responding to current and future health challenges. It was developed following extensive consultations with Member States, partners and WHO staff in the Western Pacific Region between April and October 2019. The shared vision articulated in this document is simple: acting today to address the challenges of tomorrow, with the goal of making the Western Pacific Region the healthiest and safest region.
