In May 2023, Member States at the Seventy-sixth WHA adopted decision WHA76(12)3 on the GHPI. This decision took note of and requested the Director General to report on progress made on strengthening the Roadmap for the GHPI as a living document through consultations with Member States and Observers and other stakeholders to the Seventy-seventh World Health Assembly through the Executive Board at its 154th session.
