Commonwealth Health Ministers meet annually in Geneva on the eve of the World Health Assembly (WHA) to discuss and agree on Commonwealth health priorities.
Recent Commonwealth Health Ministers Meetings (CHMM) have covered themes such as Human Resources for Health (2006), and Lifestyle Diseases: Health Systems Approaches (2007).
As the largest intergovernmental grouping within the WHA, Commonwealth Health Ministers make a substantial contribution to defining and shaping global health priorities. The theme for the 2008 meeting, held in Geneva, Switzerland on 18 May 2008, was e-health.
