The Impact
WHO has provided leadership on health matters, articulated evidence-based policy options, shared new
knowledge, set standards, provided technical support to countries and monitored health trends.
These combined eforts have contributed to some remarkable achievements across the region:
• Eradication of smallpox and polio with immunization interventions reaching more than 80% cover
regionally
• Near eradication of guinea-worm disease and leprosy with countries stating both are no longer a
public health concern;
•
Improved life-expectancy and the under-ive mortality rate has fallen by 32% across the region;
• Halted HIV epidemic with the number of new HIV infections falling by 31% in the past decade;
