The Health Diplomacy House

On the sidelines of the 79th World Health Assembly, we will convene the Health Diplomacy House on Thursday, 21 May 2026, in Geneva.

The Health Diplomacy House is an informal, co-creation space where organizations can host sessions, lead discussions, and work together on practical health policy issues. It is part of the “Predictable Uncertainty” series of events held by the Health Diplomacy Alliance throughout the year and brings together policymakers, diplomats, academia, civil society, philanthropic organizations, patient groups, and other partners engaged in global health.

The aim is to provide a setting that supports open exchange and practical collaboration, outside formal formats, while addressing complex and evolving health challenges.

The House will host a series of discussions, roundtables, and smaller exchanges throughout the day, as well as provide space for bilateral meetings and media interactions.

While the agenda remains open, sessions are expected to focus on

  • One Health, including global health security and antimicrobial resistance
  • Climate change and health
  • Health financing
  • Global health architecture and governance
