ACCOMMODATION FOR THE REGIONAL OFFICE FOR SOUTH -EAST ASIA 1

REPORT BY THE DIRECTOR - GENERAL 1. The Director - General reported to the Executive

Board at its nineteenth session, in January 1957, on accommodation for the South -East Asia Regional Office.2 In paragraph 5.13 of that report it is stated,

" Since 1949, the accommodation in Patiala House has become inadequate to the needs of the Regional Office,

and the

Director - General is continuing negotiations for the purpose of obtaining permanent suitable accommodation ". The Executive Board, in resolution EB19.R26, requested the Director -General

" to pursue with the appropriate government authorities of India the matter of providing adequate permanent accommodation for the Regional Office

at an early date ".

2 Off. Rec. Wld Hlth Org. 76, Annex 5

2. The Executive Board at its twenty -first session had before it a report on the status of negotiations for a suitable permanent building for the Regional

Office.3 The Board, in resolution EB21.R55, inter alia requested the Director - General " to make a further report to the Board on accommodation for the Regional Office for South -East Asia at such time as there are further significant developments ".

3. The Director -General on 7 March 1958 trans-

mitted to the Government of India a copy of the

Executive Board resolution. Since that time, the correspondence reproduced in the appendix to this

report has been exchanged between the World Health Organization and the

authorities

of the

Government of India.

Ojj. Rec. Wld Hlth Org. 83, Annex 18

(29)

ANNEX 4 21 4. In 1949, when the question of adequate permanent

accommodation for the South -East Asia Regional Office was first considered, the number of staff was 40; in 1958, it is 112. The present accommodation for the staff has not increased over that provided in 1949 except that additional offices have been obtained outside Patiala House. The Director -General considers that it is hardly possible to over -emphasize

the need for a modern, air -conditioned building

to accommodate the staff of the South -East Asia Regional Office. The Executive Board will recall that at the eleventh meeting of the Committee on Admi- nistration, Finance and Legal Matters of the Eleventh

World Health Assembly, the delegate of Iraq also called attention to the fact that " the first regional office to be established, namely that for South -East Asia, was far from adequately housed. The building in New Delhi was overcrowded and he hoped that

something would be done in the near future to

improve conditions there ".1

5.

At the same meeting of the Committee on Administration, Finance and Legal Matters, the

delegate of India made the following statement : Mr PILLAI (India) said that, as the question

of accommodation for the Regional Office for

South -East Asia had been raised, he would like to

take the opportunity of explaining the present

position. His Government realized that, owing to the phenomenal increase in the staff of the Regional Office, the accommodation originally provided had been found inadequate. At present, the office

was located in a palace in which UNICEF and

WHO were housed together. Arrangements had

been made to remove the UNICEF office to another building so that the accommodation released could be taken over by WHO. He realized, however, that this would not entirely meet the situation in view of the growing needs of the Regional Office and it had therefore been decided that a separate office should be built. A suitable plot of land had been selected in consultation with the Regional

Director, and the Government of India had

instructed the architects to prepare plans for the construction of the building, also in consultation with the Regional Director. As soon as the plans

were ready, administrative approval would be

given for the construction of the building, and the

Government's present intention was to let the

building to the Regional Office at a nominal or concessional rent. 1

6.

To summarize, although the Government of

India has now indicated its willingness to provide suitable permanent accommodation for the South - East Asia Regional Office, the land to be used for the building has not yet been officially allotted, nor have

plans been developed for the approval of WHO.

It is

clear that unless the pace of developments

can be accelerated, another two years will elapse before the new building can be ready for occupancy.

In view of the serious space problem which has

existed for the past two or three years in the South - East Asia Regional Office, the Director -General considers that alleviation of the situation is urgent, and that all necessary action to provide an adequate modern, air -conditioned building should be taken as soon as possible.

Appendix

CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION AND THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA

1. Letter of 24 April 1958 from the Regional Director for South -East Asia to the Ministry of Health of the Govern- ment of India

I have just received a memorandum from the Director - General of the World Health Organization asking me to state developments in the matter of permanent accommodation for this Regional Office as he has to report progress to the next session of the Executive Board which meets about the middle of June this year. He has asked me to provide a complete report on the present status of the negotiations with the Government and whether there has been any progress since the last session of the Executive Board in January 1958.

1 See Off Rec. Wld Hlth Org. 87.

In continuation of the meeting that we attended with Mr Sachdev on 21 March 1958 I now understand from the Ministry of Works, Housing and Supply that they have selected and allotted a plot of land in the Indraprastha Estate and have cleared it with the Delhi Development Authority for construction of the required building. I understand also that the building will be constructed by the Government for the Regional Office.

I further understand that the Ministry of Works, Housing and Supply still await the formal administrative approval of the Ministry of Health before they can go ahead and prepare estimates of the building and take other appropriate steps.

I therefore request you to kindly let me know as soon as possible whether this has been done in order to enable me to make a reasonable report to the Director- General for sub- mission to the next session of the Executive Board.

22 EXECUTIVE BOARD, TWENTY- SECOND SESSION 2. Letter of 5 May 1958 from the Secretary, Ministry of

Health of the Government of India, to the Regional Director for South -East Asia

This is with reference to the discussions held in the office of the Secretary, Ministry of Works, Housing and Supply, on 21 March 1958, regarding accommodation for the WHO Regional Office for South -East Asia.

It has now been decided by the Government of India to allot a plot of land, not less than half an acre, in a suitable locality in New Delhi, for the construction, by the Government of India, of a building for the Regional Office. Every effort will be made to allot a bigger plot if possible but not exceeding an acre in area.

The building will be given to WHO at a concessional rent, decided in due course. Expeditious action is being taken for the allotment of the necessary land for the purpose, as well as for the construction of the building. I shall keep you informed of the further developments in the matter in due course.

3. Letter of 7 May 1958 from the Regional Director for South -East Asia to the Secretary, Ministry of Health Thank you very much for your letter of 5 May. I fear that the situation now disclosed does not take us much further than was reported to the last session of the Executive Board.

Would it be possible for you to kindly let me have the following information so as to enable me to report some positive progress in the provision of permanent accommodation for the

Regional Office which we now so urgently require :

(1) Where is the plot of land allotted by the Government of India, and when may we see it ?

(2) At the meeting of 21 March 1958 it was agreed by Mr Venkatasubben to send to the Secretary, Ministry of Works, Housing and Supply, a letter embodying the official administrative approval of the Ministry of Health so that the Ministry of Works, Housing and Supply could proceed with the preparation of the plans for the building as quickly as possible in consultation with the World Health Organi- zation and then begin construction of the building itself.

From inquiries from the Ministry of Works, Housing and Supply yesterday I understand that no authority to proceed has yet been received from the Ministry of Health.

I am anxious to be able to report at the meeting of the Executive Board next month that my office is in direct negotia-

tions with the Ministry of Works, Housing and Supply on the lay -out and design of the building itself.

At our meeting of 21 March it was stated by the Secretary, Ministry of Works, Housing and Supply, that he can go ahead rapidly once he receives from your Ministry the authority mentioned above, but not until.

My problem of office space, as previously explained, has become acute. A senior public health administrator arrived last week and I have no office in which to seat him. With the expansion of the Regional Office and our activities in South - East Asia, particularly in the field of malaria eradication, I am expecting many more staff and have nowhere to accommodate them.

In the circumstances I fear I am not in a position to report real progress at the moment to the Director -General of the World Health Organization and would be most grateful if you could issue the necessary administrative authority to the Ministry of Works, Housing and Supply so that we may give a positive progress report to the Executive Board in June.

4. Letter of 13 May 1958 from the Secretary, Ministry of Health, to the Regional Director for South -East Asia Kindly refer to your letter No. AS -2 -1, dated 7 May 1958, regarding permanent accommodation for the Regional Office of WHO for South -East Asia in New Delhi.

I understand from the Ministry of Works, Housing and Supply that the Chief Engineer, Central Public Works Depart- ment, has been requested by them to select if possible a one -acre plot, preferably in the Indraprastha Estate, and to get the proposal processed expeditiously with the Town Planning Sub - Committee and the Delhi Development Authority. It may not, therefore, be immediately possible to indicate to you the actual plot of land till the location is decided.

It has since been decided that the Ministry of Health should get the necessary plans and estimates from the Central Public Works Department and accord administrative approval to the construction of the building for the Regional Office. As you are aware, the plans of the building could only be finalized in consultation with you and we are asking the architect of the Central Public Works Department to get into touch with your office so that the plans for the building can be finalized as early as possible.

In the circumstances explained, you will no doubt agree that everything is being done to give administrative approval to the construction of the building as expeditiously as possible.

METHOD OF APPOINTING REGIONAL DIRECTORS 1

The following report was made by the Director - General to the twenty-first session of the Board. The Board decided to defer discussion of this item until its twenty- second session, when it was expected that a representative of the Government of New Zealand

could be present.'

The Executive Board considered the method of appointing regional directors at its nineteenth session as a result of a communication received from the Government of New Zealand. In accordance with the resolution adopted at that session (EB19.R61) a representative of the Government of New Zealand, on the invitation of the Director - General, attended the twentieth session of the Board and explained further the proposal of that government.

In the same resolution the Board had decided that its further study of the proposal should take into account any comments from regional com-

mittees. The item was accordingly placed on the agendas of all regional committees. An analysis of

their comments reveals that the Regional Committees for Africa, the Americas and South -East Asia, and Sub -Committee A of the Regional Committee for the Eastern Mediterranean, believe that the present method of appointing regional directors is satisfactory and that no change is required. The Regional Com- mittee for the Western Pacific decided to adopt no resolution, but to attach the minutes of its discussions to its report. The Regional Committee for Europe took no decision but during its discussion a request

was made to the Regional Director that he trans-

mit the minutes of the discussion to the Director - General for presentation to the Executive Board.3
