Dear all,
We hope you and your families are managing to stay safe and are not overly affected by the pandemic; many of you may be involved in front-line work and know that you have all our support.
Some of you may have noticed that in recent months the look of our website has changed - indeed we are in the process of a staged transition to an entirely new web platform, which means some pages may not be in the place they used to be. The web address we have always used:
who.int/health_financing
is still active, but redirects to the new homepage. A few items to draw your attention to. First you can find our thoughts regarding health financing and the pandemic in a number of documents on this page:
https://www.who.int/teams/health-financing/covid-19
Please be sure to check the "Related Links" at the bottom of the page; the first item was put together with all our health financing staff globally.
We have also just published a new guidance document, developed through 2019, which outlines our recommendations on tailoring health financing policy in fragile and conflict-affected situations. You can find it here:
https://www.who.int/publications-detail/health-financing-policy-and-implementation-in-fragile-and-conflict-affected-settings
Also, a new blog is just out from one of our staff, Helene Barroy, here:
https://www.cgdev.org/blog/covid-19-crisis-and-budgetary-space-health-developing-countries
Finally, with regard to the 7th Advanced Course on HF in UHC, planned to take place this coming September in Geneva, this course will NOT take place as planned. However, we are looking into conducting this as a facilitated online course. Please keep an eye out on this page as more information becomes available:

Best wishes from all of us,
