MMI In a press conference several Civil Society Organisations called upon the delegates at the World Health Assembly currently taking place in Geneva to support WHO's Director General proposal for a 5% increase in assessed contributions. Furthermore they asked for a robust framework for engagement with non-state actors, to protect the Organization from improper influence. The Civil Society Organisations consider these two decisions as key for the strengthening of the WHO. (Photo: WHO/C. Black)
