WHS Side Event at the 78th World Health Assembly
)
The time has come: Our first side event took place during WHA 78 under the theme "Taking Responsibility for Health in a Fragmenting World."
Our high-level speakers included:
Joe Phaahla (Deputy Minister of Health South Africa) | Farida Al Hosani (Global Institute for Disease Elimination) | Priya Basu (Pandemic Fund) | Chikwe Ihekweazu (WHO) | Jean Kaseya (Africa CDC) | Precious Matsoso (WHO) | Nikola Gillhoff (Permanent Mission of the Federal Republic of Germany) | Carolina Batista (Baraka Impact Investment) | Naina Subberwal Batra (AVPN) | Megan Challis (Wellcome Trust) | Prashant Yadav (Council on Foreign Relations)
The side event was full of meaningful discussions, vivid exchange and inspiring talks. We reflected on the current global health governance, the growing impact of private sector as well as philanthropic actors on global health initiatives or the changing role of organizations such as the WHO and regional organizations. From different perspectives we investigated opportunities and risks and created a unique platform of exchange together. We would like to thank everyone who joined us and can't wait to continue the dialogue soon.
