Dr. Peggy Honoré, faculty in Health Policy and System Management, has been invited by the World Health Organization (WHO) European Region to provide expert consultation on financing of public health systems. She is serving as a member of the WHO Coalition of Partners for Strengthening Public Health Capacities and Services in Europe. Her role is to provide expertise on methods to improve financing strategies and increase funding that can support comprehensive public health services across Europe. Plans include exploring the replication of her work in the U.S. for the development of tools to support the acquisition, measurement, and effective utilization of financial resources. During the week of March 27 she will participate in a meeting in Athens hosted by the Greece Minister of Health and 250 key national stakeholders for policy dialogue on strategies to improve the structure and practice of public health in the nation. Previous consultations included a January 2017 Summit in Copenhagen where she led a working group on financing and a November 2016 trip to Ukraine for an assessment of public health capacities and services.
