The Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO) presents his compliments
to Member States, Associate Members and regional economic integration organizations, and has

international instrument on pandemic prevention, preparedness and response, with a view to
adoption under Article 19, or under other provisions of the WHO Constitution as may be deemed
appropriate by the INB.

27 February–3 March 2023 in a hybrid format and will open at 10:00 (CET) on Monday,
