45th report: WHO TRS N°858: 1994

WHO Expert Committee on Biological Standardization

Overview

The WHO Expert Committee on Biological Standardization met in Geneva from 11 to 18 October 1994. The meeting was opened on behalf of the Director-General by Dr. F.S. Antezana, Assistant Director-General. 

Dr. Antezana emphasised the contribution of WHO's biological standardization programme to health programmes in Member states through the provision of biological reference materials and the establishment of minimum requirements for biological susbtances. WHO was able to provide limited financial support to the programme, but that reflected the current financial situation rather than a lack of commitment on part of the organization.
