WHO Director general elections debate
The Lancet; Volume 361, Number 9354 25 January 2003
To lead the defense of health as a social right
Alexis Benos
President of the International Association of Health Policy
Medical Dept, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece.
"The World Health Organisation's mandate is to get the evidence right and ensure that is properly used to make the world a healthier place"(1). The new WHO Director-General, in initiating a crucially needed change in the policies of the leading international health agency, could use this statement that Gro Harlem Brundtland made in her message introducing the World Health Report 2002. In fact the content of the World Health Report 2002 recognises widening international health inequalities and acknowledges, albeit not overtly, their socio-economic determinants in focusing on poverty.

La oposición lleva 2 semanas de paro con claro contenido insurreccional y golpista, con un solo objetivo: la salida del presidente Chávez.
Como ustedes saben, a partir de 1999, con el triunfo de Chávez (con 56% de la votación) se abre un proceso de cambios en la política venezolana, que se inicia con la convocatoria a una Asamblea Nacional Constituyente (1999), para elaborar una nueva Constitución y refundar el país. Como resultado, nuestra Constitución es una de las mas avanzadas y modernas del mundo, con especial énfasis en el carácter protagónico y participativo de su democracia, y en el tratamiento que se da a los derechos humanos y sociales. Ese fue el primer gran logro de este proceso de cambios.
