The World Health Summit promotes a science-driven and broad approach to global health development with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at its core. Our key issues are therefore interdisciplinary, science-based, and cross-sectoral. They are vital to set the global health agenda for the years to come. You can watch the session recordings directly on each session page.

Portrait of Friedrich Merz
"As our world navigates shared challenges, the call to take responsibility for the common good has become more urgent than ever. [...] Many important decisions today can only be made together and multilaterally to achieve common goals. For this, we need shared knowledge, common rules and the courage to take on global responsibility."
Friedrich Merz
Federal Chancellor of Germany
Portrait of Axel R. Pries
“In a fragmenting world, the World Health Summit stands as a platform for constructive, science-based, and truly multilateral cooperation. While global challenges grow, we focus on the opportunities that lie in rethinking and reshaping systems. And we believe that dialogue grounded in science is key to this transformation. In times of uncertainty, a platform like the World Health Summit is more important than ever.”
Axel R. Pries
President, World Health Summit
Portrait of Carsten Schicker
“The World Health Summit is where global health - and those shaping it - come together across sectors and across generations. We unite leaders and decision-makers from politics, the private sector, academia, and civil society, while also creating space for youth voices and emerging experts. Rooted in global health, yet reaching beyond, we welcome all who are committed to a healthier future.”
Carsten Schicker
CEO, World Health Summit
