Religions for Peace and the WHO Sign a Memorandum of Understanding

June 8, 2022 – Religions for Peace and the World Health Organisation sign a historic partnership agreement. Secretary General, Prof. Dr. Azza Karam, laudated the vision, foresight  and courage of WHO Director General Dr. Tedros Ghebreyesus, and his team, in facilitating the first MOU between WHO and a global multireligious platform convening religious leaders and religious institutions in over 90 countries. This commitment to partnerships around emergency preparedness, health system strengthening and Universal Access to Healthcare comes at a critical time for global public health concerns amidst multiple and simultaneous challenges of climate change, human rights, peace building, food security as well as internal displacement.

“Multi religious work is part of multilateral collaboration. Both are necessary building blocks for social cohesion and resilience” Professor Karam said.
