The event will be held in Geneva on May 22-28. This was reported to TASS on Friday in the permanent mission of the Russian Federation at the UN headquarters in Geneva.
“Russia will actively participate in the upcoming 75th World Health Assembly, which will begin on May 22. We are focused on working productively with our colleagues in considering global health issues, ”said the agency’s interviewee. «Our delegation will be chaired by the Russian Health Minister Mikhail Murashko,» he said.
Commenting on the rumors in the media that Russia might withdraw from the World Health Organization, the standing mission said that these were rumors that «simply do not correspond to reality».
The 75th World Health Assembly will focus on preventing global health crises, promoting healthy lifestyles and ensuring sustainable funding for WHO. For the first time since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, the forum will be held in person, reports TASS.
