Fifth high-level meeting of small countries: working together for better health and well-being for all
Held in Reykjavik, Iceland, on 26-27 June 2018, the meeting provided members of the Small Countries Initiative of the WHO European Region – Andorra, Cyprus, Iceland, Luxemburg, Malta, Monaco, Montenegro and San Marino – with a high-level forum for discussions on their health agendas and ways of progressing towards achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It underlined the importance of intercountry partnerships in this endeavour, as well as direct involvement at the ministerial level, not only of the health sector, but of other sectors as well. The eight Member States, with populations of less than one million, were represented by ministers and general directors in sectors, such as health, welfare and environment.
