GENEVA http://www.buffalosabresteamstore.com/adidas-rick-martin-jersey , July 4 (Xinhua) -- The new head of the World Health Organization (WHO) has vowed to deliver results and value for money to reinforce efficiency of and earn trust for the WHO, in its pivotal job of promoting universal health coverage around the globe, the agency said on Tuesday.

In his first address as the director-general to WHO staff members, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said it's foremost that the agency needs to develop a "culture of results," or "WHO to be synonymous with results."

Tedros pledged to increase WHO's emphasis on country level work http://www.buffalosabresteamstore.com/adidas-rasmus-ristolainen-jersey , in coordination with each region, to meet specific needs of countries and optimize results. For efficiency purpose, the WHO will strengthen its country offices and have cohesion across all levels of organization, including country offices, regional offices and headquarters.

Facing a fast-growing expenditure of the WHO http://www.buffalosabresteamstore.com/adidas-pierre-turgeon-jersey , especially the recent uproar over travel costs, Tedros promised to ensure that WHO is adequately and appropriately funded with emphasis on expanding the donor base.

After consultations with WHO member states, donors and partners over the budget, Tedros said he has seen "positive developments" that would transform the way the WHO mobilizes resources.

"Through concrete actions on results, value for money and efficiency http://www.buffalosabresteamstore.com/adidas-pat-lafontaine-jersey , WHO will earn trust among member states, partners and donors, old and new," he affirmed.

The new WHO head also reiterated on universal health coverage as the center of his tenure. "All roads lead to universal health coverage," which http://www.buffalosabresteamstore.com/adidas-nathan-beaulieu-jersey , as he said, "is a human rights issue."

As 400 million people have no access to even basic health care today, according to the WHO, Tedros urged national governments to shoulder more responsibility and "compare their results to their peers and learn from each other" in expending basic health care coverage.

Universal health coverage and health emergencies are two sides of the same coin, he said http://www.buffalosabresteamstore.com/adidas-matt-tennyson-jersey , urging the WHO to reinforce its health emergency program to prepare for and prevent the next outbreak from becoming epidemics.

"We learned important lessons from Ebola. The task is now to make sure these lessons are effectively implemented," Tedros gave credit to the WHO's emergency responding team, but also confirmed that "it's not fast enough" and he would be committed to making sure the world is prepared for the next epidemic.

Tedros took office on Saturday, succeeding Dr. Margaret Chan from China's Hong Kong who led the UN health agency for the past ten years.

Australia's beleaguered Prime Minister Tony Abbott survived an internal government challenge to his leadership on Monday, despite a revolt by dozens of colleagues that leaves him politically damaged.

A meeting of lawmakers in the ruling conservative Liberal Party voted 61 to 39 to reject a motion that called for a ballot for party leader and deputy, party whip Philip Ruddock reported after the brief meeting.

Abbott needed a stronger show of support from his colleagues to ward off potential future challenges if the government continues to endure sagging approval ratings in opinion polls.

But he said later that he should stay in charge of the government until voters decide his fate in elections next year.

"We want to end the disunity and the uncertainty which destroyed two Labor governments and give you the good government that you deserve," Abbott said in a video statement, referring to the center-left Labor Party that dumped prime ministers in similar internal struggles in 2010 and 2013.

"We think that when you elect a government http://www.buffalosabresteamstore.com/adidas-linus-ullmark-jersey , when you elect a prime minister, you deserve to keep that government and that prime minister until you have a chance to change your mind," he added.

The challenge showed that 39 of 102 Liberal lawmakers wanted a change at the helm, even though no one had officially announced he or she was willing to stand against Abbott.

It came halfway through Abbott's first 3-year term as prime minister. His party has never dumped a first-term prime minister.

The challenge to Abbott's leadership — a "spill motion" that declares the party leadership open to any candidates in a ballot — was triggered by disgruntled government lawmakers last week and was. Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NCAA Jerseys Wholesale NBA Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping Cheap Jerseys China Free Shipping Cheap New NBA Jerseys Wholesale Soccer Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Wholesale Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys
