Washington, D.C., August 6, 2025 (PAHO) – The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) released its 2024 country annual reports, highlighting the main results of technical cooperation with governments and strategic partners across the Americas. These reports emphasize concrete outcomes, showcasing inspiring stories from the field and the impact of the Organization's work on each country. Dr. Jarbas Barbosa, PAHO Director, stated that the reports demonstrate the Organization's commitment to country-specific, impactful, and transformative technical cooperation aimed at addressing health challenges and strengthening health systems. In 2024, key progress was made in eliminating diseases, accelerating NCD care, improving medical supplies access, promoting digital health transformation, and reducing maternal mortality under the Zero Maternal Deaths initiative. These reports, like PAHO’s 2024 Annual Report Advancing Health for Regional Security, illustrate how regional strategies translate into local results. From surveillance to vaccine production, PAHO supports building equitable and resilient health systems that address population health needs and respond to emergencies. The reports are not only an accountability tool but also a call to action to foster collaboration, mobilize resources, and demonstrate the impact of working with governments, multilateral agencies, and civil society. With 27 country offices, two specialized centers, and presence in 35 Member States and four Associate Members, PAHO, founded in 1902, is the world's oldest international public health agency serving as the WHO Regional Office for the Americas since 1949.
