Sri Lankan delegation to attend WHO regional health conference in Dili

A delegation from Sri Lanka is travelling to Dili to participate in a significant World Health Organization regional health meeting, as the country continues its engagement with international health forums and policy discussions.

The visit underscores Sri Lanka's commitment to participating in regional health governance discussions and sharing experiences with other nations in South and Southeast Asia on public health matters and healthcare systems development.

The WHO regional meeting brings together health officials and policymakers from across the Asia-Pacific region to address shared health challenges, exchange best practices, and coordinate on health initiatives affecting the broader region.

Such regional consultations provide an opportunity for Sri Lanka to contribute to collective decision-making on health priorities and strengthen ties with health authorities across neighbouring countries and the wider Asia-Pacific region.
