"I see information and communication technology as one of the most vital strategic assets that the WHO Regional Office for Europe must develop in order to work efficiently and to facilitate an integrated delivery of results. We must embrace new technologies, and explore how they can be adopted to further the public health agenda in the Region. We have already started actively working on this. We have been making increasing use of newer methods to reach our target groups, including social media. We have an active presence on Facebook and, within a very short time, attracted over 2000 followers on Twitter. Social media were used for consultation in developing the action plans on HIV/AIDS and M/XDR-TB."
