WHO Athens Office to Be Upgraded
Published
The World Health Organization (WHO) has decided to upgrade its office in Athens. The decision was taken unanimously by 53 states, that is, by all the countries that participate in its European region.
Greece is one of the four countries that host a specialised presence of the organisation. With this upgrade, the Athens office gains a more significant role in the WHO's cooperation with the country and with other states in the region.
The main goal of this development concerns the quality of care and patient safety. The choice of Athens strengthens Greece's international standing on public health issues, as it shows that the country is recognised as an important partner in the field.
For now, the announcement does not provide detailed information about the office's new responsibilities or the timetable for their implementation. Developments are expected to become known in the coming weeks.
