•) The number in parentheses refers to the target number to be reached by the proposed action.
the European Region for the Seventh General Program-
me of Work should be kept in mind:
(1) to help make existing knowledge better known by
identifying innovative and improved health care
approaches in Member States;
(2) to promote priority health research;
(3) to act as a catalyst in promoting national health
policy development towards HFA principles;
(4) to improve cooperation and coordination between
international organizations active in the health
field.
This support is outlined in general terms in the
European regional contribution to the General Pro-
gramme of Work and, in more detail, in the biennial
programme budget. The plan of action sets out only the
major action to be taken by WHO to support Member
States and the Regional Committee in their efforts to
reach the regional HFA targets.
3. Future amendments of the plan of action
The plan will have to be amended in the light of the
progress that Member States make in their HFA
development, which can be influenced by many factors.
It would therefore seem logical to update the plan in
accordance with the monitoring of the implementation
of the regional strategy every two years and with the
evaluation of the effectiveness of the strategy every six
years.
