Abstract: 

At the 70th UN World Health Assembly in Geneva on May 22 to 31 2017, all 194 member countries will vote on the next director-general of the World Health Organization (WHO). This is the first time the vote is open to the assembly’s entire membership instead of just the executive board.

The person who takes office on July 1 2017 will have significant impact on the organisation, and on all of global health. From an initial list of six, proposed by member states in September 2016, the number of candidates is now down to three.
