The WHA is the main decision-making body of WHO and is comprised of 194 Member States. Every year, delegates from all Member States come together to agree on the Organization’s priorities and policies.  At the Health Assembly, country delegates make decisions on health goals and strategies that will guide their public health work and the work of the WHO Secretariat to move the world towards better health and well-being for all.
