WHO to honour HRH PM as ‘World Leader’

The World Health Organisation (WHO) will honor His Royal Highness Prime Minister Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa as a ‘World Leader’, in a new international achievement reflecting the global impact and resonance of the contributions of His Royal Highness. The Premier was chosen after a careful follow-up on the progress achieved by Bahrain’s health sector, which, according to WHO, “deserves to be a role model for other countries of the world.”

The award honors HRH the Premier’s contributions in the field of health and for his vision, ideas, policies, initiatives, and achievements. Dr. Tidros Adhanom Gibressus, the Chief of the World Health Organization (WHO) said this in an invitation to HRH to attend the 72nd World Health Assembly. The high international honor also reflects the role HRH Prince Khalifa has played in achieving WHO’s objectives, missions, and functions.
