The World Health Assembly is the supreme decision-making body of the World Health Organization (WHO). It meets in Geneva in May each year, and is attended by delegations from the 193 Member States. The main function of the World Health Assembly is to determine the policies of the Organization.
Health is a devolved matter and Wales should be a member of WHO, after all Wales is not represented in the World Health Assembly's British delegation who are responsible for health in England only. Only the British would be against Wales's membership.
Monaco, San Marino and Lesotho are already members. Indeed Wales's membership of WHO would only help the initiative between Lesotho and Wales through Dolen Cymru.
The initiative has been fully supported by the Hon. Mohlabe Tsekoa, a Minister in the Lesotho Government, who describes the Dolen Cymru link project as "a source of hope for the people of Lesotho. It is one of the greatest developments that has come to us on a human level. It is an unprecedented example of how meaningful links can be….given our location and smallness, there is a need to hold another hand, however far away, to help make us feel we are truly part of the world, part of the international community".
