At the Opening Night of the World Health Summit 2025, the symbolic passing of the WHS International Presidency set the course for the coming year. Following the successful WHS Regional Meeting 2025 in New Delhi, Balvir S. Tomar (NIMS University) transferred the presidency to Lukoye Atwoli (Aga Khan University, Nairobi).
The International Presidency of the World Health Summit rotates annually among members of the WHS Academic Alliance. With this rotating leadership, each institution that assumes the presidency also takes on the responsibility of hosting the WHS Regional Meeting for that year. The handover marks a continued commitment to collaboration across regions and institutions, engaging diverse parts of the world and academic partners in shaping the global health agenda.
Under the leitmotif “Reimagining Africa’s Health Systems: Innovation, Integration, and Interdependence”, the WHS Regional Meeting 2026 will take place from April 27–29 in Nairobi, Kenya.
