Bangladesh will participate in the 37th Commonwealth Health Ministers Meeting (37CHMM) to be held on May 17 in Geneva, on the sidelines of the 78th World Health Assembly.


Director General of Health Services Dr Namzul Hossain will represent Bangladesh at the meeting, along with senior officials from the country’s Permanent Mission in Geneva, said a media release on Thursday.

This will be the first ministerial meeting to be attended by Commonwealth Secretary-General Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey since taking office on April 1.

Chaired by Lesotho’s Health Minister Selibe Mochoboroane, the meeting will focus on the theme ‘Investing in Health: Sustainable Financing for an Equitable Commonwealth’.

The meeting will also follow up on mandates from the 2024 Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Samoa and discuss updates from the Commonwealth Advisory Committee on Health, reports UNB.
