Health Forum – Expanding Access and Enhancing Resilience
As global health challenges evolve, new threats risk undermining progress in areas like life expectancy, disease prevention, and maternal and infant health. Climate change, emerging infectious diseases, and growing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) demand informed policymaking, targeted investments, and greater preparedness to strengthen global health infrastructure and patient care.
On September 25th, join GARDP and Foreign Policy at UNGA79 in New York City for a critical examination of these pressing issues. The Health Forum will bring together world leaders, policymakers, industry experts, and civil society to explore strategies for expanding healthcare access and improving system resilience. This forum features three sessions focused on turning insights into action, and culminates in a special session on antimicrobial resistance, setting the stage for the UN High-Level Meeting on AMR the next day.
Global Solutions to Emerging Global Threats
5:00 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. EDT
Cross-sector collaboration and sustained financing is crucial for addressing emerging global health threats like infectious diseases, pandemics, and antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Ahead of the High-Level Meeting on AMR, this session will focus on turning goals and agreements into action by delving into the role of data and innovation in health security, the investment needed for research and development, and the global cooperation needed to mitigate and effectively respond to evolving global health threats.
