The event will be hosted by NIMS University Jaipur and will bring together global health leaders, policymakers, scientists, and innovators to address critical health challenges and explore sustainable solutions.
The World Health Summit is the leading international platform for global health, bringing together stakeholders from politics, science, the private sector, and civil society from around the world to collaborate and shape the future of global health. It provides a forum to address pressing health issues, setting the agenda for achieving health and well-being for all. As an influential event on the global health calendar, the World Health Summit stimulates innovative solutions to health challenges, promotes knowledge exchange, and strengthens discussions around global health as a key political issue. It also serves as a driving force for advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in promoting equitable access to healthcare, advancing health diplomacy, and fostering international collaboration.
In addition to the World Health Summit traditionally held each October in Berlin, which hosts over 3,000 onsite participants and more than 20,000 online attendees, the World Health Summit also organizes annual WHS Regional Meetings in various parts of the world.
