Statement by Jaime Urrego, Health Vice Minister of Colombia at the WHO Executive Board

We are thankful for the director general's report. Colombia would like to reiterate her position on the strategic importance and relevance of the participation of non-state actors in the governing bodies of WHO. They play an important role in social and political matters and in representing people through NGOs at both local, regional and international level. We urge therefore that the Secretariat continue to facilitate and increase their participation on the basis of criteria of inclusivity and effectiveness including in the intersessional period. We welcome the Canadian proposal.
