This is the challenge that Health 2020 will meet. It will provide the overall framework through which all our work can be channelled, and the values against which we can judge the actions to be taken. We also believe that a new approach, engaging the whole of society and the whole of government is essential. Health 2020 will provide the overall blueprint,Health 2020 we are working on the development of European targets for health in six domains, one of which is well-being. We have conducted a literature review on well-being indicators and composite indices. I do not have time to go into the details of this work, but the results will be considered by a working group of the Standing Committee of the Regional Committee and incorporated into the fully developed Health 2020 policy, which will be considered by the WHO Regional Committee for Europe in Malta in September 2012.The World Health Organization was created in 1948 to coordinate health affairs within the United Nations system. Its initial priorities were malaria, tuberculosis, venereal disease and other communicable diseases, plus women and children's health, nutrition and sanitation.The WHO played a leading role in the eradication of smallpox. Its current priorities include communicable diseases, in particular HIV/AIDS, Ebola, malaria and tuberculosis; as well as the mitigation of the effects of non-communicable diseases such as sexual and reproductive health, development, and aging; nutrition, food security and healthy eating; occupational health; substance abuse; and driving the development of reporting, publications, and networking.In 1967, the WHO launched the Special Program for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases and the World Health Assembly voted to enact a resolution on Disability Prevention and Rehabilitation, with a focus on community-driven care.In 1986, the WHO began its global program on HIV/AIDS.
