Excerpt
1. INAUGURALSESSION The twenty-fifth session of the WHO South-East Asia Advisory Committee on Health Research (SEA-ACHR) was held at Hotel Natour Kuta, Bali, Indonesia, from 17 to 20 April 2000. In his opening address, Dr Uton Muchtar Rafei (Regional Director, WHO South-East Asia Region) thanked the Ministry of Health of the Government of the Republic of Indonesia for hosting this meeting and welcomed the participants. He said that in view of the pace of globalization and its impact on international health development, WHO, as part of overall reform efforts, had recently developed a new strategic framework for its secretariat. This WHO Corporate Strategy had provided four main strategic directions: (a) to reduce the burden of disease, especially among the poor and marginalized populations; (b) to promote healthy life styles and reduce factors of risk to human health; (c) to develop health systems for the equitable improvement of health outcomes; and (d) to develop an enabling policy and institutional environment in the health sector and promote an effective health dimension to social, economic, environmental and development policy.
