📢 The WHS Academic Alliance and The Lancet have announced a new joint Commission on Academic Responsibility for Trust in Science and Societal Change.

Against the backdrop of increasing political pressure on scientific evidence and academic institutions, this Commission brings together 30 interdisciplinary experts from 22 countries and territories. They will assess and strengthen the value of academic institutions to society, build greater public trust, and support their contributions to society.

Over the next two years, the Commission will translate this work into concrete recommendations, with a final report expected in 2028.

🕊️ When hospitals become targets, health itself is under attack.

Armed conflict is reversing decades of progress in health. Wars and the erosion of humanitarian law are putting hospitals and health workers directly in the line of fire.

In protracted crises, health systems crumble leaving gaps in maternal care, mental health, and chronic disease management. Infectious disease outbreaks increase, sexual violence is used as a weapon of war, and new forms of warfare erode trust and safety

Protecting health in conflict means upholding international humanitarian law, ensuring accountability, and positioning health as a bridge to peace and cooperation.

This is why conflict and health is one of six central topics at the World Health Summit 2026.

📅 Be part of the discussion at , taking place October 11–13 in Berlin and online.

💬 "Innovation doesn't happen in silos. Innovation happens when we come together."

Carsten Linnemann, Federal Minister of Health of Germany, sends an invitation ahead of the World Health Summit 2026 in Berlin.

His message is a timely reminder: no health system can face today's challenges alone, and lasting solutions are built through collaboration, not in isolation.

This year's Summit, held under the theme "From Crisis to Resilience: Innovating for Health", calls on leaders and experts from politics, science, the private sector, and civil society from around the world to turn shared challenges into shared progress.

Join us at and help shape a healthier, more resilient world. 🌍

What are the greatest threats to human health over the rest of this century, and where can policy action have the greatest impact?

At , the Keynote Session "The Lancet Commission of 21st Century Global Threats to Health," co-hosted by IHME and The Lancet, will examine threats ranging from pandemics, antimicrobial resistance, and conflict to the malicious use of AI, non-communicable diseases, and mental health.

Bringing together diverse expertise, the Commission assesses how these risks could shape global health through 2100 and identifies where strategic action can help prevent future health loss.

💬 "The World Health Summit 2026 comes at a decisive moment for global health. Health financing is contracting, progress on mortality is slowing, and the threats to health ahead of us are shifting faster than our institutions are adapting. The health of the next generation will be defined not by one crisis but by a series of catastrophic threats. Yet each remains amenable to action. The future is not determined, and what we do now will change its trajectory."

Ahead of the World Health Summit 2026, Christopher Murray, Director of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), shares a sobering yet hopeful outlook on where global health stands today.

Christopher Murray co-founded IHME and helped build the Global Burden of Disease study, one of the most widely used tools for understanding how health is changing across the globe.

Catch Christopher Murray live at two sessions:

🔹 Keynote Session 01 - Launch of the Findings from the Lancet Commission on 21st Century Global Threats to Health

🔹 Workshop 05 - Future Health Scenario Platform - Informing Policy Choice Through Quantitative Modeling

🌳 A tree for every WHS 2026 participant

This October, one tree will be planted for every WHS 2026 participant at health centers and communities across Uganda's Nakaseke, Luuka, and Luweero districts, in partnership with Tree Adoption Uganda (TAU).

Beyond planting, TAU trains local health workers to respond to climate-related health risks like flooding and water contamination, strengthening community resilience where it's needed most.

Since 2023, this partnership has helped plant around 12,000 trees across Uganda. This year, that number grows with every participant joining us in Berlin.

💬 “The Bundibugyo virus disease outbreak shows how an infectious disease threat can destabilize health systems, economies, and regional security. At the World Health Summit 2026, CEPI will spotlight how multi-stakeholder, cross-sectoral collaboration can strengthen long-term resilience and mitigate the health, socioeconomic, and security impacts of outbreaks.”

Jane Halton, Chair of the Board at the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), gives her view on what building resilience against outbreaks requires.

Jane Halton is a leading voice in global health security, bringing decades of experience at the highest levels of public health leadership, including as Secretary of the Australian Department of Health and Finance, and as a driving force behind international pandemic preparedness efforts.

We are honored to have Jane Halton contributing her expertise and vision in three sessions at :

🔹 Keynote Session 03 - Pandemic Preparedness at a Crossroads: Financing and Governing Global Health Security

🔹 Workshop 05 - Future Health Scenario Platform - Informing Policy Choice Through Quantitative Modeling

🔹 Panel Discussion 01 - Health Security as a Cornerstone of National Security
