IUHPE and WHO joint collaboration efforts an Interview with Dr. Robert Beaglehole

摘要

The active preparations for the 6th Global Conference on Health Promotion in Bangkok, Thailand, in August 2005, the lively debate expressed from all parts of the world and within the IUHPE network (see www. rhpeo.org) about the development of a new Charter for Health Promotion to be launched in Bangkok, the triennial review of the IUHPE official relationships as a unique global NGO for health promotion and health education with WHO, all present an opportunity to invite Dr. Robert Beaglehole, Director, Chronic Diseases and Health Promotion at WHO Headquarters to share his views on several issues that the field of health promotion is facing today. The interview was conducted by Professor Maurice Mittelmark, President of the IUHPE. In addition, in the perspective of the review of collaboration between our two organisations by WHO Executive Board, a comprehensive report covering the period 2002, 2003 and 2004 was sent to WHO headquarters. It is available on the IUHPE website www.iuhpe.org under reports.
