Resume:

1.- WHO was founded in 1948 on the conviction that health is a human right to be enjoyed by all, not a luxury.

2.- WHO's top priority is universal health coverage, ensuring all people can access needed health services without facing financial hardship.

3.- At least half the world's population lacks access to essential health services. Almost 100 million are pushed into extreme poverty annually due to out-of-pocket health spending.

4.- WHO has set three 5-year targets: 1 billion more people with universal health coverage, 1 billion more protected from emergencies, 1 billion with better health and wellbeing.

5.- Digital technologies and AI will be vital for achieving WHO's "triple billion" targets - e.g. electronic health records for care continuity.

6.- AI is increasingly being used for disease surveillance and defending against outbreaks. Digital tech is becoming more integrated into diagnostics and treatment.

7.- The world has changed significantly in WHO's 70 year history. Non-communicable diseases like heart disease, cancer, diabetes are now the biggest killers.

8.- Delivering equitable health services is a major challenge, but mobile tech, telemedicine, drones can help reach remote areas with medical services.

9.- Over 120 countries have developed digital health strategies. The number will only increase. It's an important area of WHO's work.

10.- Big data and machine learning could transform population health, e.g. through enhanced early warning and forecasting of disease outbreaks.

11.- AI can improve outbreak response decision-making and provide simulation tools. This will be discussed at the upcoming World Health Assembly.

12.- AI can make health services more accessible, effective and affordable by making data collection and triage more efficient.

13.- More and better data collection via AI could lead to personalized services tailored to individual needs, resulting in better health outcomes.

14.- AI could help predict future health risks, like heart attacks in patients with high blood pressure, from routinely collected data.

15.- AI is already advancing health in many ways, e.g. improving mobility for paraplegic patients, enabling faster diagnoses, tracking disease threats.

16.- AI is being used to manage road traffic to reduce crashes and increase safety, and to develop new medicines and vaccines.

17.- As with any new technology, there are risks of AI abuse that must not be overlooked even as we realize its benefits.

18.- Human rights must be ensured as AI is deployed in healthcare. National governments need appropriate regulations and safeguards in place.

19.- WHO is ready to support all countries in realizing AI's promise in health as well as putting appropriate safeguards in place.

20.- Although AI represents the future of health, safeguards are critical too. A balance between enabling innovation and managing risk is needed.
