From Vision to Action: Five Years of the WHO Global Diabetes Compact

Marking 5 years of the WHO Global Diabetes Compact, partners gather at WHA79 to reflect on progress and advance collective action.

You’re invited to From Vision to Action: Five Years of the WHO Global Diabetes Compact, an evening reception on the sidelines of the 79th World Health Assembly. Marking five years since the launch of the World Health Organization Global Diabetes Compact, we’ll celebrate the progress achieved together — and renew our shared commitment to the work that lies ahead.

The evening will begin with brief reflections from cohosts and partners on the Compact’s first five years. An informal reception will follow, offering a space for partners to connect, exchange insights, and discuss the next phase of diabetes action. Guests will also have the opportunity to explore the Global Diabetes Compact photo exhibit, an inspiring visual narrative of lived experience highlighting how life with diabetes goes beyond numbers. Canapés and refreshments will be served throughout the evening.

Join us to reflect on how far we’ve come — and help shape what comes next for global diabetes action. Attendance is by invitation only.
