This week I had a strategic meeting with a new group of recently appointed PAHO/WHO Representatives at our headquarters in Washington, DC. They are here for a five-day induction training to further strengthen their technical, managerial and leadership skills and ensure PAHO provides efficient and effective support to its Member States. They are the face and voice of the organization in countries and critical to advance our technical cooperation work on the ground. I am proud of our multi-national team of representatives across the region, leading PAHO forward to improve the lives and health of people in the Americas.
