6. LOOKING TO THE FUTURE

True to PAHO’s stated mission “To lead strategic collaborative efforts among Member States and other partners to promote equity in health, to combat disease, and to improve the quality of, and lengthen, the lives of the peoples of the Americas,” this webinar afforded the Organization a unique opportunity to acknowledge the valuable contributions CCs have made towards the achievement of our goals in the Region.

It also provided CC representatives a glimpse into the inner workings of the Organization and the Pan American ideals that motivate each of one of us to continue to seek out and forge relationships with institutions across the Region.

Specifically, the webinar resulted in nearly 200 concrete recommendations to guide PAHO/WHO into the future with a more strategic and focused approach. These recommendations, as well as the ones that stemmed from the aforementioned WHO Evaluation, will lead the Organization to address technical cooperation gaps, strengthen institutional capacity, and develop innovative ways of working together with CCs.

Once again, PAHO/WHO extends its utmost gratitude and solidarity to all CCs in the Region and looks forward to continuing technical collaboration.
