BERLIN, GERMANY – Newsaktuell – 11 October 2026 – The World Health Summit (WHS) 
2026, the leading platform for global health, brings together more than 4,000 participants
from 130 countries in Berlin and tens of thousands more online from October 11 to
13. Under the theme “From Crisis to Resilience: Innovating for Health,” the Summit
convenes leaders from politics, science, civil society, and the private sector. 
Discussions address Ebola and other infectious diseases, antibiotic resistance, 
pandemic preparedness, resilient health systems, health care in conflict settings
such as Ukraine, and climate-related health threats. The Summit will also address
WHO leadership through a conversation with prospective candidates for the next WHO
Director-General.

 Against this backdrop, WHS President Axel R. Pries emphasized the need for innovation
and collaboration: “Past achievements and continued progress in global health are
increasingly challenged by multiple and overlapping crises. To build resilient, 
effective, and equitable health systems, we need innovation across biomedicine and
technology, financing, delivery, and political coordination. This requires partnership
and trust within and beyond the health sector and is at the heart of the World Health
Summit 2026 leitmotif.”

 Announcements and new pledges during the official WHS press conference:

 *  **Diene Keita**, Executive Director of UNFPA, highlighted the Government of 
   Bangladesh’s landmark investment of 250 million euros in women’s health, supported
   by the European Investment Bank.

 *  **John-Arne Røttingen**, CEO of Wellcome, launched the _Wellcome Global Monitor
   2026_, which shows trust in science has fallen since the COVID-19 pandemic.

 *  **Ilana Ron Levey**, Managing Director at Gallup, shared findings from the _State
   of the World’s Emotional Health 2026 Report_, examining the relationship between
   social media use and emotional well-being.
