Portrait of Axel R. Pries
“In a fragmenting world, the World Health Summit stands as a platform for constructive, science-based, and truly multilateral cooperation. While global challenges grow, we focus on the opportunities that lie in rethinking and reshaping systems. And we believe that dialogue grounded in science is key to this transformation. In times of uncertainty, a platform like the World Health Summit is more important than ever.”
Axel R. Pries
President, World Health Summit

Portrait of Carsten Schicker
“The World Health Summit is where global health - and those shaping it - come together across sectors and across generations. We unite leaders and decision-makers from politics, the private sector, academia, and civil society, while also creating space for youth voices and emerging experts. Rooted in global health, yet reaching beyond, we welcome all who are committed to a healthier future.”
