The Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO) presents his compliments
to Member States and Associate Members and has the honour to inform them that the fifth event
in the series Walk the Talk: The Health for All Challenge, will be held on Sunday, 26 May 2024
in the morning, prior to the opening of the Seventy-seventh World Health Assembly
(27 May–1 June 2024). The Walk the Talk will commence officially at 09:00 (CEST).
The Director-General conveys his gratitude to Member States and Associate Members for
the support provided to the 2018, 2019, 2022 and 2023 events, each of which attracted thousands
of 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, the Organization is staging the event in partnership with the
City and Canton of Geneva, and the Swiss Confederation, and would welcome Member States’
participation and collaboration.
This year’s event will provide a platform to promote WHO’s work in the space of sport
and health and the Organization’s engagement with youth to advance our common mission of
Health for All. It will also be an opportunity to celebrate and help bring WHO’s 75th anniversary
year to a close. This year’s event will include participation by globally renowned dancers,
athletes and support from the International Olympics Committee, International Paralympics
Committee, and other relevant partners.
To support Member States’ participation in the Walk the Talk event in Geneva, each
delegation will be provided with t-shirts for use at the event and promotional posters to consider
placing at Geneva-based Permanent Missions. Further information, including on how to register
online can be found on the Walk the Talk events page on the WHO website:

to renew to Member States and Associate Members the assurance of his highest consideration.
