The commitments in the Dedaration and the Action Plan are based on information and evidence from across the WHO European Region. Together, they form a solid and inspiring foundation on which governments, policy-makers, nongovernmental organizations and other stakeholders, along with WHO, can build solutions to improve the quality of life of all citizens.
