3 rd WHO Global Forum on Medical Devices 11 10 -12 May 2017 Geneva, Switzerland Considering that Member States recognized in resolution WHA 60. 29 and WHA 67. 20 that medical devices are indispensable for health care delivery but their selection, regulation and use present enormous challenges, the 3 rd WHO Global Forum on Medical Devices is to be presented 10 years later to discuss the achievements that have been made in the field and the enormous challenges in low and middle income countries. This will also serve as an opportunity to share the WHO EMP strategy in the framework of Universal Health Coverage and the Sustainable Development Goals. http: //www. who. int/medical_devices/global_forum/3 rd_gfmd-programme/en/
