The WHO Health Emergencies Programme (WHO) held a virtual meeting on 10 March 2026 to discuss the updated policy and business rules of the South-East Asia Region Health Emergency Fund (SEARHEF). The meeting also provided a platform for discussions about predictable and flexible financing for response operations. Participants were briefed on the updated governance arrangements, eligibility criteria, and operational support for the Fund. The revised framework also allows for voluntary financial and in-kind contributions from development partners, donors, the private sector, and philanthropic organizations.
