Devex Impact House @ WHA79

FROM VISION TO ACTION: CAN GLOBAL HEALTH DELIVER?

Global health is entering a defining moment — one where bold visions are everywhere, but execution remains uncertain. The United States and Africa are putting forward competing roadmaps for the future of global health. China, Gulf states, and emerging Asian funders are shifting the global balance of power. Core institutions such as WHO, UNAIDS, and the Global Fund face leadership transitions and structural upheaval. Technology is advancing faster than policies can keep up, while financing grows more complex through new partnerships and dealmaking models.

At WHA79 in Geneva, Devex Impact House will bring these dynamics into focus over live journalism, curated roundtables, and intentional networking events. We’ll ask the leaders, funders, and innovators shaping this landscape a simple but urgent question: Can global health turn its visions into action — and deliver?
