The World Health Summit and the World Health Organization are joining forces to foster global health and well-being of all.
The World Health Summit 2022 will commence from October 16 till October18. It is 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.
