Side-event of the 77th World Health Assembly (WHA) in Geneva, Switzerland
The participation of people, communities and civil society in health decision-making processes can make policies and programmes more equitable, responsive and efficient, improve service uptake and foster trust.
As World Health Organization Member States are pursuing a resolution on social participation for the 77th World Health Assembly, the European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies will publish a Eurohealth special issue to explain what social participation is and what it is not, why it matters, and how it can be advanced at country level.
This special issue is being launched at a WHA77 side event on 28 May at 18:00 in Geneva, offering a unique opportunity to promote social participation as a means to accelerate progress towards Universal Health Coverage, health and well-being.
