• W2075938166 abstract "As a former staff member of WHO of more than 21 years' service, I am keenly interested in the selection of the next Director-General, the outcome of which is so important for global and national health.As for previous elections, The Lancet is to be congratulated for its contribution to this process. In particular, I refer to the Comment by Richard Horton (Oct 7, p 1213),1Horton R The next Director-General of WHO.Lancet. 2006; 368: 1213-1214Summary Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (6) Google Scholar in which he refers to the criteria set by WHO's Executive Board for the Director-General and reviews the technical competencies of the 13 candidates.He categorises administrative skills into three groupings: high-level political experience, proven ability to run a complex organisation and to deliver results, and strong communication and advocacy skills. I was most surprised that Pekka Puska was not seen as fully meeting all those requirements. Anybody who knows Puska, his background and achievements, would say that he has superb administrative, managerial, and leadership skills. He has strong political skills and experience (including being a member of parliament in his country). He was a director for a WHO Headquarters department and is currently the Director-General of the national public health institute of Finland (KTL), which has 1000 employees. KTL deals with many aspects of health systems.Having served under Puska at WHO Headquarters, where strengthening health systems was an important part of his work programme, I can confirm, and I am sure my former colleagues will agree, that Puska showed great administrative and managerial skills, ability to achieve results, and to communicate and advocate.In my opinion Pekka Puska has the public-health leadership that WHO now needs.I declare that I have no conflict of interest.
