What is the Executive Board?
The Executive Board is composed of 34 individuals who have been designated by their Member State. These Member States have been elected to the Executive Board by the World Health Assembly. Member States are elected for three-year terms. The main functions of the Executive Board are to: approve the agenda for the World Health Assembly, ensure that the decisions and policies of the Health Assembly are implemented, to advise and facilitate WHO's work.
