Get ready for the upcoming World Health Summit in Berlin from 12 to 14 October 2025. To help Global Health Hub Germany members make the most out of the event, we have compiled a selection of the most relevant side events.
The World Health Summit's theme for this year: "Taking Responsibility for Health in a Fragmenting World."
The World Health Summit will bring together leading voices from science, politics, the private sector and civil society from around the globe. During the three-day event, which comprises over 70 sessions, global health experts will discuss innovative solutions to today's most pressing health challenges.
This year, the World Health Summit 2025 takes place at a new venue in Berlin: InterContinental Berlin, Budapester Strasse 2, 10787 Berlin
