Teaming Up For WHS 2022

The World Health Summit and the World Health Organization joined forces to foster global health and well-being of all.

The World Health Summit 2022 from October 16-18 was the first World Health Summit together with WHO.

WHS 2022 is part of a long-term close collaboration, as WHO has been a strong strategic partner of the World Health Summit since its very beginning.

WHS and WHO are both dedicated to the well-being of all people. To give everyone everywhere the chance to live a healthy life is a global effort, and the key to achieve better health for all lies in collaboration and open dialogue, guided by science. This is what WHS 2022 stands for.

Finding Solutions for Global Health

The aim of the joint World Health Summit was to create synergies and combine forces for global health development by engaging all relevant global health leaders and stakeholders from all sectors in all regions of the world.

WHS 2022 strengthened exchange, stimulated innovative solutions to health challenges, fostered global health as a key political issue and promoted the global health debate in the spirit of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
