Portrait of Axel R. Pries
The members of the World Health Summit and its academic network, the WHS Academic Alliance, are convinced that global health crises can be tackled only through worldwide collaboration. An international, interdisciplinary, and intersectoral forum like the World Health Summit, convening leading experts from science, politics, business, and civil society from all over the world in an environment of academic freedom and friendship, couldn’t be more important right now and in the foreseeable future.
Axel R. Pries
World Health Summit President
