Leveraging Global Health Strategies for Worldwide Impact

The adoption of Global Health Strategies by some European countries over the past decade represents a formalized approach to define the countries’ global health priorities and move the global health agenda forward by initiatives from the national level. Countries such as Germany, the Netherlands, and France have embarked on ambitious pathways to globalize their health agendas through dedicated strategies. Recently the European Union (EU) has also adopted its own comprehensive global health strategy to enhance European collective action and effectiveness for greater impact on global health.

This panel discussion serves to take stock of countries’ efforts to advance the global health agenda through their Global Health Strategies as we approach the halfway mark to Agenda 2030. It will examine the different motivations of countries and the EU for launching Global Health Strategies at the national and the European level respectively, and the added value of such strategies for the global health agenda as well as limitations. Moreover, panelists will discuss different governance models related to Global Health Strategies as well as approaches to include the perspectives of non-state actors and international partners.

Join us for an insightful conversation with experts as we examine the role of these strategies in shaping global health outcomes and discuss the inherent challenges and opportunities they bring.
