Aim of the network/project

WHO, as the directing and coordinating authority on international health within the United Nations system, adheres to the UN values of integrity, professionalism and respect for diversity. The values of the WHO workforce furthermore reflect the principles of human rights, universality and equity established in WHO’s Constitution as well as the ethical standards of the Organization. These values are inspired by the WHO vision of a world in which all peoples attain the highest possible level of health, and our mission to promote health, keep the world safe and serve the vulnerable, with measurable impact for people at country level. We are individually and collectively committed to put these values into practice.

WHO Member States are grouped into six regions. Each region has a regional office:

WHO/Europe is the host, as well as a member, of three partnerships:

  • the European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies;
  • HEPA Europe (European network for the promotion of health-enhancing physical activity); and
  • the European Forum of National Nursing and Midwifery Associations (EFNNMA).

 

Partners in health in the European Region

WHO/Europe has established and institutionalized corporate relations with key health and health-related agencies in the European Region. It manages the partnerships centrally, and they often work at multiple levels: high-level, technical and country-level cooperation. WHO/Europe’s key strategic partners share many of its areas of interest and activity.

WHO’s key partners in the European Region are naturally the European Union and its institutions, sister United Nations agencies, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria and the GAVI Alliance. In addition, WHO/Europe programmes work with a wide range of other partners, including subregional networks, other intergovernmental and nongovernmental organizations, and many nongovernmental and civil-society organizations.
