🌍 Big Decisions Loom for Global Health at the 78th World Health Assembly (by Molly Moss)

As the 78th World Health Assembly kicks off in Geneva (May 19–27), global leaders are set to make pivotal decisions for health worldwide. Two major developments headline the agenda: a new Pandemic Agreement—the product of three years of negotiations—aimed at improving global coordination, equity, and preparedness through a One Health approach; and urgent efforts to address WHO’s projected $2.5B budget shortfall, which threatens its ability to carry out core programs.

Reforms under discussion include restructuring WHO’s global operations, expanding flexible funding sources, and adopting stronger commitments to health financing aligned with the Lusaka Agenda. While financial constraints loom, the Pandemic Agreement signals renewed global cooperation and commitment to lessons learned from COVID-19.

This Assembly may redefine the trajectory of global health systems in a time of complex, intersecting crises. Stay tuned and stay engaged.
