Ten Conversations for Health

Health diplomat - to WHO
To be a health diplomat,
You have to look like that,
And speak like that.
Be hard with results,
And with impact,
Softer with people,
With humour and tact.
To be a health diplomat,
You have the chat, to work with charm,
Pleasure and trust, to do no harm.
Yet spread health,
Like an epidemic,
As you arm countries,
And disarm disease,
Arm and disarm with charm.
Health is here and now,
In healthy relationships, in hard work,
A sense of humour, a helping hand.
In your empathy with countries,
Health is WHO and who you are.
You-niversal health is you,
Caring for your health and others,
With hard and soft diplomacy,
And tough love too,
In finding solutions,
Instead of problems,
In having a universal impact,
You have all that,
It is WHO you are,
Our health diplomats.
