Connecting for innovation and impact for all in global health

As global health systems grapple with mounting challenges—from pandemic recovery and climate-linked health crises to growing non-communicable disease burdens – foreign aid is shrinking and the era of rising donor funding may be fading forever. As the financial gap widens, countries must now navigate a future where financial autonomy is essential to sustain the many health system gains in recent decades. How can countries move from aid dependence to financial autonomy without leaving vulnerable populations behind?
With a commitment to equity, innovation and resilience, leaders must open a new playbook as we look to the future. The United Nations’ General Assembly 2025’s theme of “Strengthening International Cooperation for a Shared Future” invites us to imagine not only what national health systems must do alone—but what we can achieve together.
Join Global Health Corps for Shift Happens: Financing the Future of Global Health Equity, to discuss the implications of donor transitions on health outcomes and equity, the promise and pitfalls of innovative financing, and how governments and organizations can lead in mobilizing resources for health. The panel of experts will explore new structures and strategies for how governments, organizations and leaders can be part of the future of financing health, both equitably and sustainably.
