SEA/RC55/8 Add. 1 - Regional Implications of the Decisions and Resolutions

The 28^th meeting of the Consultative Committee for Programme Development and Management (CCPDM) recommended that the working paper relating to resolutions of regional interest adopted by the previous sessions of the Executive Board (EB) and the World Health Assembly (WHA) should be brought out as a document. The 37^th meeting of CCPDM proposed that all resolutions and decisions of the EB sessions and WHA should be submitted, at subsequent meetings, for their information, review, suggestions or comments. These proposals were endorsed by subsequent sessions of the Regional Committee. Accordingly, this document is submitted for the consideration of the Regional Committee.

The document relates to all resolutions and decisions emanating from the 109^th session of the Executive Board, held in January 2002, and the Fifty-fifth World Health Assembly and the 110^th session of the Executive Board, held in May 2002. The salient information from the operative paragraphs of the decisions/resolutions as well as actions proposed for Member States and WHO are presented briefly in a tabular form.

Copies of the decisions and resolutions of the EB sessions and the World Health Assembly are also attached.
