COMMENTARY

The Pan American Health Organization’s First 100 Years: Reflections of the Director

George A. O. Alleyne

George A. O. Alleyne is with the Pan American Health Organization, Washington, DC.

Correspondence: Requests for reprints should be sent to George A. O. Alleyne, Pan American Health Organization, 525 23rd St NW, Washington, DC 20037 (e-mail: alleyned{at}paho.org).

The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) has responded to changing political times and different health challenges and has played a significant role in some of the recent achievements in health in the region of the Americas. Some of the more remarkable health gains of the past 8 years owe their success to the broad principles of equity and Pan-Americanism that guide PAHO’s work. The production and use of scientific–technical information is the fundamental underpinning of the technical cooperation that has facilitated the health work of countries. The future is bright for PAHO’s next century.
