The Platform for Global Health
About the World Health Summit
The World Health Summit is a unique platform that brings together leaders from politics, science, the private sector, and civil society to set the agenda for a healthier future and well-being for all. It drives innovation, fosters global health as a key political issue, and aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Held annually each October in Berlin, Germany, the summit attracts more than 4,000 participants on-site and 10,000 online.
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.
