Transatlantic Lessons for Global Health: From DC to Berlin

The 2023 Regional Meeting of the World Health Summit was held in the United States of America on the 13th of April and broke new ground in promoting a Trans-Atlantic discussion of major global health issues. The power of cross-Atlantic cooperation, analysis of private sector involvement in health, the need for sustainable action on climate change, and promoting Universal Health Care for Noncommunicable Diseases were some of the key topics discussed. Moreover, the conference grappled with key issues that cut across global health such as promoting gender equity, confronting racism, and supporting emerging leaders from around the world. With 400+ in-person and 1,000 online registrants, the discussions were rich and engendered important insights into current global health challenges.

This session will bring key leaders together to reflect on the major lessons from the Regional Meeting to continue a high level dialogue and probe the global health community on important solutions.
