The five person delegation, led by Rev. Dr Stavros Kofinas, moderator of the WCC Commission of the Churches on Health and Healing, will pursue four core objectives: monitoring relevant plenary and committee sessions to track resolutions and decisions affecting the WCC’s health mandate; strengthening partnerships with global health actors, civil society networks, and faith-based organizations; co-hosting side events that amplify the WCC’s advocacy positions; and gathering inputs to inform joint WCC commission and reference group meetings planned for October 2026.
The delegation will engage in 11 priority areas including the right to health, sustainable financing, equitable access to innovation, climate and health, conflict and displacement, reproductive health, aging and elder care, mental health, palliative care, pandemic preparedness, and decolonizing health systems. The delegation will also participate in and co-host multiple events, including a session on civil society collaboration in health promotion, a webinar on digital health equity, a side event on economic policy and public health, and sessions addressing antimicrobial resistance and palliative care through an interfaith advocacy network. During the 79th World Health Assembly, the WCC will contribute evidence-based perspectives to rights-grounded health policy. Delegates will document key developments and compile a post-delegation report. The World Health Assembly is the decision-making body of the World Health Organization (WHO). |
