Alcohol Policy and the WHO

In May 2008, the World Health Assembly (WHA) approved Res. WHA 61.4, “Strategies to reduce the harmful use of alcohol,” calling on the WHO Director General to prepare a draft global strategy to reduce harmful use of alcohol and “consult with intergovernmental organizations, health professionals, nongovernmental organizations and economic operators on ways they could contribute to reducing harmful use of alcohol.” That process of consultation began in September 2008 and will culminate in a draft Global Strategy that will be delivered to the WHA’s Executive Board in November 2009 for its review and later approval at the WHA meeting in May 2010.
