Leading G20 policymakers, global health experts and representatives from both the private and public sectors are meeting in Geneva from 19-20 June for the annual Health 20 Summit (H20) organised by the G20 Health & Development Partnership and the World Health Organization (WHO).
The Summit comes at a critical moment for global health amid geopolitical shifts, economic uncertainty and shock funding cuts to development aid. It will focus on the future of global health and finance, and explore how to build resilience, trust and sustainability into health systems.
This year marks the conclusion of the first cycle of G20 meetings, which began in 1999 as a forum for Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors of industrialised and developing countries to discuss global economic and financial stability. The H20 Summit, which has been held annually since the first G20 Health Ministers Meeting in Germany in 2017, will explore strategies to secure the role of health and development in the next cycle starting in 2026, under the leadership of the United States.
