The WHS Regional Meeting is a unique global forum for strategic discussion on initiatives and dialogues on international and regional issues, impacting health and development. The summit is represented by diverse stakeholders from academia, Industry, the private sector, NGOs, and Governments from around the world to set the agenda for collaboration, cooperation, and consultation on key strategic issues impacting health and well-being.
As a part of the program agenda, PAN and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) will co-convene “Turning Health Investments From Costs to Assets: Why We Need To Think Differently About Health Financing” — a high-level side event to connect finance experts with health economists and leaders to determine how we can reframe health investments as assets not costs, and set out a roadmap to change the thinking of financial and health institutions and governments the world over.
