The Director of the Pan American Sanitary Bureau has the honor to invite your
institution to participate in the 20th edition of the Pan American Health Organization
(PAHO) Walk for Health to be held at PAHO Headquarters, on Sunday, 29 September
2024, from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
The Walk for Health will be celebrated prior to the opening of the 61st Directing
Council of PAHO, 76th Session of the Regional Committee of the World Health
Organization (WHO) for the Americas, taking place from Monday, 30 September through
Friday, 4 October 2024.
The participation of delegations, organizations and the general public during the
past 20 years in walks in different communities, demonstrated the need for a whole-of-
society approach to promoting healthy lifestyles, relationships, and partnerships for health
in the Americas.
This year’s event will provide a platform to promote PAHO’s work in the space of
sport and health and the Organization’s mission to advance Health for All, as well as
creating a friendly and healthy environment for staff, friends, delegates, missions,
international organizations and the local community.
Each participant will receive a T-shirt to wear during the Walk for Health event to
show their support. Further information, including how to register online, can be found on
the Walk for Health event page on PAHO’s website: https://www.paho.org/en/walk-for-
health-2024.
