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.

"Resilience for us is not just about endurance – it’s about growth. Despite the war, Ukraine’s health system keeps moving forward, proving that recovery can start even in the darkest times."

"Women’s health is both a measure and a driver of collective progress. While women and girls represent half of the world’s population, their health remains chronically underfunded and underprioritized – an afterthought in research and healthcare design."

Executive Director, United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA)

Federal Minister, Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ)

"Aid needs to stay there as a scaffolding as we transition. In transitioning we must solve the problems of the old model, we mustn’t bring back the problems of the old model."
Winnie Byanyima
Executive Director, Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS)

"We are now saying: Africa is ready. We don’t want to be invited. We are the co-creator of this global architecture."

Director-General, Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC)
Portrait of Hiroyuki Okuzawa
„Behind the gender health gap lie deeper, structural issues: Women have long been underrepresented in clinical research. Many health systems lack funding models that address women-specific needs. And women are still not fully included in healthcare decision-making processes. This is the reality we must change and we at Daiichi Sankyo are committed to contribute to this goal alongside other global health partners.“
Hiroyuki Okuzawa
Representative Director, President and CEO of Daiichi Sankyo
