Here is a snapshot from the World Health Professions Alliance (WHPA) World Health Assembly side event held 28 May in Geneva, on #NCDs and workforce dynamics, which World Medical Association was delighted to co-host as part of WHPA. The event tackled what does continuing escalation of NCDs mean for the #healthworkforce and what needs to be done to empower health professionals to tackle the problem? A sincere thanks to the high-level speakers from the World Health Organization: Bente Mikkelsen, Director, NCD Department, and Jim Campbell Director, Health Workforce, for sharing their insights and encouraging the health professions to continue #interprofessionalcollaboration against NCDs.

About us
The World Medical Association (WMA) is an international organization representing physicians. It was founded on 17 September 1947, when physicians from 27 different countries met at the First General Assembly of the WMA in Paris. The organization was created to ensure the independence of physicians, and to work for the highest possible standards of ethical behaviour and care by physicians, at all times. This was particularly important to physicians after the Second World War, and therefore the WMA has always been an independent confederation of free professional associations. WMA represents 115 National Medical Associations and constituent members and 10 million physicians.

The World Health Professions Alliance (WHPA) new strategy was launched at a reception celebrating the Alliance’s 25th anniversary, held in Geneva on 26 May 2024. World Medical Association President Lujain Alqodmani addressed the work of WHPA, with a focus on ethics and human rights: “Values like equity, integrity and respect have always been central to WMA’s work, ensuring fairness and justice in all our work, and that we do what’s right and ethical according to our codes of practice. The WHPA’s new strategy shares these values, and adds a crucial one: unity, because we achieve more when we work together. I look forward to working with the rest of WHPA partners in implementing this ambitious plan.” WMA is delighted to be part of WPHA along with International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) ICN-International Council of Nurses FDI World Dental Federation and World Physiotherapy, working together towards sustainable health workforces and strengthened health systems.
