World Health Summit
About the World Health Summit
The World Health Summit is the leading global platform bringing together science, politics, civil society, and the private sector to catalyze collaborative and innovative solutions for key health priorities.
Its flagship event is the World Health Summit (WHS) held annually in Berlin. Each year, the Summit attracts more than 4,000 participants on-site and 10,000 online. In addition, each spring, a WHS Regional Meeting is hosted in a different part of the world to connect regional perspectives with global strategies, while year-round formats such as the WHS Global Health Dialogues bring together leaders and decision-makers to address strategic issues beyond the Summit dates.
Science-Based Approach
The World Health Summit promotes a science-driven, interdisciplinary approach to global health development. It focuses on health as a human right and the impact of political decisions on our health. The summit addresses science-based, cross-sectoral issues that are crucial for setting the future global health agenda.
Strong Academic Background
Founded in 2009 on the occasion of the 300th anniversary of Berlin’s Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin, the World Health Summit is supported by the WHS Academic Alliance. The network is comprised of leading academic health centers, universities, and research institutions from all across the globe. In addition to the annual summit, the WHS Academic Alliance organizes WHS Regional Meetings and Expert Meetings worldwide.
