Muscat – The Global Health and Peace Initiative (GHPI), which was proposed by Oman in partnership with Switzerland and World Health Organization (WHO), was endorsed at the conclusion of the meeting of the 154th session of the WHO Executive Board on January 25.

Oman took part in the meeting with an official delegation headed by H E Dr Hilal bin Ali al Sabti, Minister of Health.

GHPI was approved after five years of extensive work, which is credited to the sultanate, consolidating the government’s approach to achieve the principle of peace among all countries. ‘This step will be followed by several others to implement this initiative into reality,’ the Ministry of Health stated.
