GENEVA HEALTH WEEK
Each year during the World Health Organization (WHO)’s World Health Assembly (WHA) happening in May, the Platform hosts a series of side events and discussions around critical global health issues, raising awareness among member states attending WHA meetings. During the Geneva Health Week, the Platform provides important exposure for a wide range of global health actors, enhancing collaborations and partnerships for future discussions and events.
“This Open Briefing is in its 10th year, a testimony to its value in the WHA process. It is informative and affords delegates, particularly new ones, the opportunity to appreciate the Assembly before it begins. Excellent session."
