In an increasingly fragmented world facing conflict, economic instability, climate shocks, and deepening inequalities, achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC) by 2030 requires urgent, coordinated action. Women in Global Health (WGH), together with UHC2030 and partners is hosting this discussion on the sidelines of the 78th World Health Assembly to make health systems gender-responsive as a cornerstone for resilient, equitable care.
Although global commitments have been made, including in the 2023 UN Political Declaration on UHC, implementation gaps persist. Health systems remain largely gender-blind. Solidarity must now move from rhetoric to reform.
This WHA side event will showcase diverse voices and practical solutions to accelerate progress, highlight how gender-responsive health systems promote equity, and underscore solidarity as the driving force of UHC transformation.
Date: Thursday, 22 May 2025
Time: 13:00-15:00 CEST
Location: In-person 9-11 Rue de Varembé, Geneva, Switzerland (Centre de Conférence de Varembé)
Format: In-person
Hosts: Women in Global Health, UHC2030, CSEM for UHC2030,

After the devastating impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, countries rallied around the idea of a pandemic treaty to enshrine global solidarity against pandemic threats and establish priorities for coordination, cooperation, and equity during a health emergency. After more than two years of complex negotiations, WHO Member States advanced a historic pandemic agreement on Wednesday April 16, 2025. As we move from negotiations to adoption and implementation — and we reach one year since approving amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHRs) — what have we learned about multilateralism for preventing, preparing for, and responding to pandemic threats? What’s needed to propel global coordination and alignment for proactive, equitable prevention, preparedness, and response?
Join Pandemic Action Network (PAN) and FOUR PAWS on the sidelines of WHA78 for The Pandemic Agreement and Beyond: International Solidarity in a Multipolar Era, to bring together leading stakeholders in the pandemic agreement and IHR processes for candid reflections and an action-oriented discussion on what comes next for multilateralism and pandemic threats, and how we continue to propel global action to keep the world healthy and safe.

The risks of new pandemic threats are compounding. Zoonotic spillover and uncontained outbreaks are well-known risks that are not yet well enough addressed. Today, focus must also turn to biosecurity and biosafety risks. Beyond naturally occurring infectious disease threats, the risks of a manmade pandemic — by accident or by design — must be mitigated.
Pandemic Action Network (PAN) and The Independent Panel for Pandemic Preparedness and Response will convene a public event, Biosecurity: A Priority in the Era of Pandemics and AI, on the sidelines of WHA78 to discuss opportunities and risks in our evolving global health, technological, and geopolitical landscape, and offer concrete next steps to prioritise biosecurity and biosafety efforts needed to keep the world safe and secure.
