Hi, Health diplomats in Geneva have barely recovered from an intense and historic World Health Assembly that concluded on June 1, 2024. But the story is still fresh! Given the milestone achieved at the Assembly, in terms of adopting the amendments to the International Health Regulations, we were keen on capturing the tension, the drama and the diplomatic nous, all of which combined in this moment, resulting in consensus.
