WHO to discuss with Member States working document on draft alcohol Strategy

On 8 October 2009 the WHO will hold an informal consultation meeting with Member States in Geneva.

The meeting will discuss the feedback from Member States on the Working document for developing a draft global strategy to reduce harmful use of alcohol.

The working document reflects the outcomes of the consultations held with Member States and other stakeholders. And it provides background information, the aims and objectives, and target areas for action by Member States.

Member States’ feedback on the content of the working document will help to shape the draft global strategy which will be submitted to the Executive Board at its 126th session in January 2010.
