| Description | In June 2008 the WHO Regional Office of Europe convened the WHO European Ministerial Conference on Health Systems: Health systems, Health and Wealth, in Tallinn (Estonia). The Conference aims to place the health system high on the political agenda of European Member States and to provide focus for strengthening future WHO support to Member States in the development of their own health systems, policies and public health activities. The development and adoption of a Conference Charter was an essential output of the Conference. Explicit strategies for improvement of health are keys. They work best if they reflect the burden of disease and risk factors, combining prevention and cure accordingly, address the whole system and health in all policies and not just the services delivered by the health sector. |
