Dear Sir,
Joint External Evaluation in Estonia, 2023
On behalf of the WHO Regional Office for Europe, I would like to commend you for your leadership
in organizing the Joint External Evaluation (JEE) in Estonia, as reflected in your letter received on
7 March 2023.
The WHO Health Emergencies Programme offers its full support to the activities related to the JEE and
will contact the nominated focal points, Ms Heli Laarmann and Mr Kristian Sirp, in order to plan the
logistic and technical aspects of the evaluation. I hereby confirm that the orientation workshop and
commencement of the self-evaluation phase will be a two-day event and will start on 4 April 2023.
As Estonia proceeds with the preparation of the JEE, it is critical that there is ownership from all relevant
sectors involved in the implementation of the International Health Regulations (IHR) (2005), and I ask
for your kind assistance in encouraging these sectors to take part in both the self-evaluation and external
mission.
I would also like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation for the collaboration between
Estonia and WHO.
Please accept the assurance of my highest consideration.
Yours very truly,
Dr Hans Henri P. Kluge
