About the session
This session highlights Bayer's extended engagement with World Health Organization (WHO) and WHO Foundation, aimed at strengthening global health systems and accelerating progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals. The partnership focuses on three key areas: Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs), Self-Care, and Climate & Health.
Building on over 20 years of cooperation, Bayer supports WHO and WHO Foundation through essential medicine donations, financial and technical assistance, and digital tools to improve access and delivery in low-income countries. The session will explore how this public-private partnership contributes to WHO’s and WHO Foundations programmatic work, including tailored implementation strategies and participatory research, and how such models can help scale impact across global health priorities.
