State to State Regionalism

OBJECTIVES:

• The attainment by all peoples of the highest possible level of health. Health, as defined in the
WHO Constitution, is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely
the absence of disease or infirmity.
• Raise awareness of the extent of illness, suffering, and death among mothers and children, and
its impact on health as well as social and economic development.
• Increase understanding that solutions exist. Affordable and effective means are known that can
prevent death and suffering. The challenge is to deliver a key set of preventive and curative
interventions to the mothers and children who need them – to translate knowledge into action.
• Generate a movement that stimulates collective responsibility and action. Families, community-
based groups, professional societies, national governments, and the international community al
need to support the delivery of programmes and services. Every individual within society has a
role to play.

MEMBERS:

• WHO Regions: WHO Member States are grouped into 6 WHO Regions:

 Non-State Regionalism

OBJECTIVES:

• To provide a preferential option for the poor in health care. By establishing long-term
relationships with sister organizations based in settings of poverty, Partners In Health strives to
achieve two overarching goals: to bring the benefits of modern medical science to those most in
need of them and to serve as an antidote to despair.
• Partners In Health draw on the resources of the world’s leading medical and academic
institutions and on the lived experience of the world’s poorest and sickest communities. It is
based on solidarity, rather than charity alone.
• When our patients are ill and have no access to care, our team of health professionals, scholars,
and activists will do whatever it takes to make them well – just as we would do if a member of
our own families or we ourselves were ill.
