European Member States reaffirmed their commitments to strengthening PHC in the wave of the pandemic at the 71st session of the WHO Regional Committee for Europe in 2021 and gave a new mandate to WHO to implement its new strategy. The Centre has been actively implementing its regional and country-level commitments.
