FP: Health Forum: Renewed Investment for Maximum Impact

Amid declining donor funding and cuts to institutions like the WHO, the global health community faces mounting challenges in its efforts to advance the SDGs. Rising deaths from non-communicable diseases (NCDs), intensifying climate-related health challenges, and regulatory and supply chain disruptions place additional strain on an already-fragile system.

Foreign Policy’s Health Forum @ UNGA80, taking place on September 24 just before the U.N. High-Level Meeting on NCDs (HLM4), will convene a series of solutions-focused conversations with policymakers, industry leaders, and civil society experts who are working to tackle these pressing challenges. Discussions will focus on innovative investment strategies to close global health gaps; collaborative ways to address the rising burden of disease and persistent inequities in access to care and medicine; and how to strengthen health systems and support frontline workers to improve health outcomes around the world.
