Misinformation and disinformation undermine public health by disrupting emergency responses, distorting health-seeking behaviours and eroding trust in scientific evidence and health institutions.

This WHO Strategic Roundtable provides a platform for Member States and partners to exchange experiences and practical approaches to counter misinformation and disinformation, strengthen information integrity, improve public engagement with evidence-based health information and reinforce trust in science.

The discussion will focus on concrete actions that support national strategies, improve global coordination and reaffirm WHO’s leadership on urgent and emerging health priorities.
