Dear Madam,
It is with great pleasure that I have been informed of your appointment as the new Minister of Social
Affairs of Estonia. On behalf of myself and the staff of the WHO Regional Office for Europe
(WHO/Europe), please accept my warmest congratulations.
I would like to take this opportunity to commend Estonia for the outstanding contributions your
Ministry has been making to WHO’s work. I would also like to express my appreciation to your
Ministry for the continued support it has given WHO. Over the last few years, WHO and Estonia have
worked closely together across many areas of mutual interest, including noncommunicable diseases
and their key risk factors, and mental health and primary health care. A highlight of this partnership
was the Tallinn Charter 15th Anniversary Health Systems Conference: Trust and transformation –
resilient and sustainable health systems for the future.
WHO/Europe aims to further contribute to the national health priorities of Estonia, as outlined in the
Country Cooperation Strategy (CCS) 2024–2030. As you know, the WHO Country Office in Estonia
plays a key role in the excellent collaboration between WHO and your country. The WHO Liaison
Officer in Estonia, Kristina Köhler, will continue to be fully available to provide you support in
implementing the CCS to improve the health of all Estonians.
I would be delighted to schedule a videoconference at your earliest convenience to discuss our work
and the current and future collaboration between Estonia and WHO.
Please accept my very best wishes and keen assurance that WHO is ready to offer you every possible
support in fulfilling your new responsibilities.
Yours very truly,
Dr Hans Henri P. Kluge
Regional Director
