This change has emerged as part of the larger political and historical process. The term “global health” has been used since the early days of establishment of the World Health Organization in the late 1940s. In general, it implies the situation where the health needs of the people of the whole planet are responded to, above the concerns of particular nations. A joint collaboration among the Ministry of Public Health, Thailand, WHO Regional Office for South-East Asia, and the ThaiHealth Global Link Initiative Program, (TGLIP) resulted in organizing the First Regional Training Course on Global Health in May 2010. The first module – an introductory course on global health - organized from 1-5 May 2010 in Nakhon Pathon, Thailand was attended by participants from seven countries of the South-East Asia Region, who were selected from among the delegates attending the Sixty-third World Health Assembly. It was followed by the second module of practical experience and learning through attendance at the Sixty-third World Health Assembly from 17-21 May 2010 in Geneva. A wrap-up session- the third module - was conducted on 22 May 2010 in Geneva. It is envisaged to organize regional training courses on global health conducted in Member States on a rotation basis. The attached working paper is submitted to the High-Level Preparatory (HLP) Meeting for its review and recommendations. The recommendations made by the HLP Meeting will be submitted to the Sixty-third Session of the Regional Committee for its consideration.

The role of the health information system is to collect, analyse and disseminate such data. Health information systems in countries of the WHO South-East Asia (SEA) Region are at various stages of development and there are several global initiatives, networks, programmes and projects that have been launched by development partners to assist Member States in health information system development. The WHO Regional Office for the South-East Asia took the initiative to develop a strategic framework to guide countries in strengthening and reorienting their national health information systems. After a series of country consultations a 10-Point Regional Strategy for Strengthening Health Information Systems was developed in 2005. The strategy was endorsed at the fifty-ninth session of the Regional Committee in August 2006. All countries have reviewed their national health information systems and taken action to align them with the regional strategic framework. Since there are many new developments in the field of health information and information communication technology, one of the Member States has suggested including “Regional Strategy on Health Information Systems” as an agenda item for the Sixty-third Session of the Regional Committee. The attached working paper is submitted to the High-Level Preparatory (HLP) Meeting for its review and recommendations. The recommendations made by the HLP Meeting will be submitted to the Sixty-third Session of the Regional Committee for its consideration.
