Perhaps a rating system to tailor resources to a countries' individual needs. Adhering to the economic concept of vertical equity. Emergency requirements for countries in chronic conflict without sanitation differ from a country with basic infrastructure and unrest. #LonWHO2019

Very much looking forward to interviewing some select countries on their working papers, with a particular focus on their historical records in conflict and health. From our observations there have been some radical 'about turns' in foreign policy! Stay tuned for world firsts!

Primary speakers introducing their drafts. We watch with great interest which countries will move forward with brave new policy to prioritise the health of the most vulnerable members of society.

Topics include. AMR, Surveillance, mental health issues, mandatory health examinations for all refugees, rapid response to Ebola, access to healthcare for all, maternal health and vitally the protection of existing healthcare workers and infrastructure.

We will not be intimidated by countries wishing to avoid inconvenient truths with blood on their hands. Security and assurances that violence towards health workers will stop has to be prioritised or these talks are empty.

Draft resolution AFRO 1.1

Mexico wishes to delete a clause for stronger surveillance programmes. Ethiopia clarifies that the surveillance is for the purpose of gathering more accurate and useful data on nutrition.

Resolution 1.1 passed! Encouraging news, we look forward to seeing these bold aims put into action!

2.1 Mexico and Canada suceed in creating a new coalition in health care. With particular attention to vulnerable populations affected by conflict.

Resolution 5.2 backed by United States and big pharma. Voting time.

AMR is being brought to the fore by the AFRO region in their resolution 1.2 this is a vital issue effecting the global population.

Resolution 4.2 with a focus on vaccines, screening, vaccine status of refugees preventing the spread of communicable diseases amongst the most vulnerable members of society. Boldly asking for ceasefires to ensure safety of healthcare professionals.

4.2 resolution passes! A very positive step towards the control of communicable diseases

Onto 3.1....

3. 1: Mental health, the sad truth; everyone involved in conflict, including health workers are affected. Immediate screening of refugees entering member states and minimum packages required to fight these wide-spread debilitating health states. No health without mental health.

3.1 is passed.
