Global health is undergoing a major transformation! Carsten Schicker, CEO of the World Health Summit, recently shared his vision at the Global Health Forum of Boao Forum for Asia. He noted, "Global health, for too many years, has been dominated by the Global North." Now, amid challenges and geopolitical shifts, there's a bold call for new leadership and stronger South-South cooperation. 😎
Schicker believes the current crisis offers a golden opportunity to build a health system that's more resilient, equitable, and inclusive. This isn’t just a policy update—it paves the way for digital healthcare innovations and practical solutions that resonate with young, tech-savvy professionals across South Asia and Southeast Asia.
With key players like China stepping forward, the move to reshape global health governance emphasizes a united approach that listens to diverse voices. Since its launch in 2009, the World Health Summit has served as a vibrant forum for exchanging ideas among policymakers, academia, industry experts, and civil society. 🚀
This renewed vision promises a future where global health is not only a matter of policy but also a catalyst for cutting-edge tech innovations and community empowerment. The journey toward fairness and inclusivity in health is well underway!
