ამას გულისხმობს ალბათ ხო? დკსჯ ცენტრთან უნდა დაზუსტო ხო როგორც 
მახსოვს. სიმართლე გითხრა, ამის დრო არ მქონდა და რომ ჩამოვალ 
დავაზუსტებ. ვადაში შეზღუდულები არ ვართ როგორც მეილიდან ირკვევა.

მაიკო

Subject: WHO - Side Events for WHA71

Dear WHO Mission Focal points,

As this year marks the 70th anniversary of the Organization, there will
be a number of events to mark the occasion at the Seventy-first World
Health Assembly.  The Director-General has decided that side events be a
part of the anniversary celebration and aligned to the theme of the World
Health Assembly .  In line with this, Member States seeking to host a
side event may kindly submit an application based on the theme “Health
for all: commit to universal health coverage.”  This may include topics
such as access, equity, health system strengthening and health emergency.
As a limited number of spaces will be available, Member States are
encouraged to seek broad multi-regional support for their proposal and
where possible consider jointly organizing an event.

Please find below information on the process for applying for WHA71 side
events.

Applications for Member State side events will be accepted between the
period: 26 February and 6 April 2018. The schedule of side events will be
shared electronically during the third week in April.

In order to apply for a side event please complete the attached
application and send it to:
[email-masked]<mailto:[email-masked]> by COB 6
April 2018.

To facilitate transparency and provide an opportunity for interested
Member States to co-sponsor a proposed side event, all applications
received will be posted on the GBS website.

When preparing applications, please note that:

1.       A Member State may submit or co-sponsor a maximum of two
proposals. In other words, each Member State may only associate itself
with a TOTAL of 2 proposals

2.       After the selection process has been completed, Member States
will be provided an opportunity to co-sponsor events until 1 May 2018.

3.       Member States may confirm their co-sponsorship of a side event
by sending an email to
[email-masked]<mailto:[email-masked]>. In addition, Member
States applying for a side event are encouraged to indicate on their
application form only countries that have confirmed their co-sponsorship
(not tbc) and copy those countries in the email submitting their
application to
[email-masked]<mailto:[email-masked]>.

4.       A total of 10 side events will be scheduled, two per each day.
Side events will be scheduled during the lunchtime or in the evening and
may last for up to 90 minutes.

5.       Applications that are incomplete or received after the deadline
will not be considered.

6.       While the rooms for the side events will be made available
free-of-charge, any catering and interpretation services involve costs.
The Member States requesting side events will be responsible for any
costs incurred.

7.       There is a separate application process for side events
organized by non-State actors in official relations with WHO. For
information about that process, please contact:
[email-masked]<mailto:[email-masked]>

8.       Organizations that are not in official relations with WHO should
not be invited to co-organize side events with Member States, as such
organizations do not have the necessary security clearance to access to
the Palais des Nations.

With a view to encouraging collaboration among Member States, the
Secretariat will be organizing a briefing for the Permanent Missions on
14 March, 2018, during which Member States will be given an opportunity
to indicate any specific topics that they are considering to propose as
the subject of a WHA71 side event. In this way, Member States interested
in the same or similar topics may more easily explore the possibility of
submitting a joint proposal. The invitation to the Mission Briefing will
follow in due course.

In addition, Member States who wish to indicate their interest in a topic
for a side event to solicit broad participation may send an email to:
[email-masked]<mailto:[email-masked]>. This
information will be made available on the WHO website.

Best Regards,

Dr Timothy Armstrong
Director, Department of Governing Bodies
World Health Organization
