UNCTAD-WHO EMRO-UNESCWA Regional Dialogue on Consumer Protection and Health in Times of COVID19

Within the framework of the UN Development Account Project on "Strengthening Social Protection for Pandemic Responses: Identifying the Vulnerable, Aiding Recovery and Building Resilience". The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) in collaboration with the World Health Organisation Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean (WHO EMRO) and the United Nations Economic Commission for Western Asia (UNESCWA) have joined forces in responding to the COVID-19 crisis by engaging in a technical cooperation project on consumer and social protection policies in the provision of health services including digital/e-health.

This event will provide an opportunity to present and discuss recommendations from the UNCTAD report on the role of consumer protection policies in the provision of health services and e-health. This interactive event will prioritise sharing experiences and best practices that have emerged during this crisis among representatives and officials of Ministries of Health and Consumer protection authorities.

This is an invitation-only event. A summary of proceedings of the event will be posted online after the event.
