The Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO) presents his compliments
to Member States and Associate Members and has the honour to inform of the third edition of
the Walk the Talk: The Health for All Challenge scheduled to take place on
Sunday, 22 May 2022 in the morning of the opening of the Seventy-fifth World Health Assembly
(22–28 May 2022).
The Director-General conveys his gratitude to Member States and Associate Members for
the support provided to the 2018 and 2019 events, which attracted more than 4000 participants.
The participation of delegations and the general public demonstrated the need for a whole of
society approach to the promotion of healthy lifestyles and partnership for health.
Building on these successes, WHO is actively working on organizing the next edition and
would welcome Member States participation and partnership. The event will also provide a
platform to promote the “Sport and Health” project, being conducted in conjunction with the
“Healthy FIFA World Cup 2022: Creating Legacy for Sport and Health” partnership, supported
by the State of Qatar and Fédération internationale de football association (FIFA). To support
Member States participation, each delegation will be given two t-shirts for use at the event.
Relevant precautions to minimize the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 will be implemented
according to the prevailing conditions and in compliance with local regulations.
Registration for the 2022 event can be initiated at WHO website
https://www.who.int/news-room/events/global-walk-the-talk. A newsletter with information
about the event will be shared in due course. For any additional information and/or clarification
about the event, an email can be sent to Mr Paul Garwood, Head, Leadership and Internal
Communications (

The Director-General avails himself of this opportunity to renew to Member States and
Associate Members the assurance of his highest consideration.
