IHP+ presented at Twenty-sixth Meeting of Ministers of Health of South East Asia

At twenty-sixth Meeting of Ministers of Health of South East Asia held in New Delhi, India, 8–9 September 2008, Dr Margaret Chan, WHO Director-General, briefed the participants on the IHP+. She pointed out that the MDGs cannot be achieved unless there is a radical change in the way the UN system, donor agencies and national governments function. She stressed the need to adopt a results-based approach and introduce transparency and accountability. 'In this way IHP+ can deliver on the Paris Declaration’s promises and build on existing structures, mechanisms and country health plans. IHP+ can become one of the most important tools for scaling up health services delivery' she said.
