Implementation of the WHO Strategy for
Prevention and Control of Chronic Respiratory Diseases
Purposes of the Meeting
The expected
results of this advisory meeting were two-fold: |
|
1. Articulation of policy and advocacy
2. Management of information (knowledge)
3. Provision of technical and policy support to countries
4. Development of national and global partnerships
5. Development of norms and standards
6. Stimulation of development of new technologies, tools and guidelines |
|
|
- to delineate the elements that comprise each strategic component
outlined in the global strategy;
- to determine the implications of these for WHO in implementing a
global strategy to prevent and control CRD with regard to its six core functions (see
box).
|
| Achievement of the two goals
in concert would form the basis for a comprehensive plan to implement the CRD strategy. |
