From Crisis to Resilience: Innovating for Health
October 11–13
Setting the course for 2026: the new WHS leitmotif
:format(webp))
Health around the world is being challenged by compounding crises that are testing systems, widening inequities, and exposing vulnerabilities that cannot be addressed through reactive, short-term responses. Addressing these challenges requires innovation and lasting solutions.
Innovating for health goes beyond technological advances; it also includes new approaches in financing, governance, partnerships, and service delivery. Innovation can build resilience by enabling systems and societies to anticipate, absorb, adapt to, and transform in response to shocks, while safeguarding essential services and strengthening preparedness.
Under this Leitmotif, the World Health Summit 2026 will focus on how to turn innovation into more equitable, continuous, and future-ready systems that strengthen health and well-being over the long term.
