World Health Summit: Yearbook 2013

Publications - Released in 2013

The time for a unified answer to the challenges of today and tomorrow is now: new Global Development Goals will be decided on by next year; the concept of universal health coverage is gaining global traction; and research-based innovations continue to offer major advances in therapy.

To bring all stakeholders together to translate medical innovations into global health frameworks on an affordable basis, new platforms for meetings and dialog are needed. The World Health Summit provides such a platform for delegates from different pillars of society to help shape tomorrow’s health care agenda.

In its fifth year, the World Health Summit continues to connect present and future leaders of global health, active in academia, politics, the private sector, and civil society. It is this spirit that permeates the WHS Yearbook by providing direction for future advances to improve health worldwide, and by offering information on the issues and initiatives raised at the World Health Summit 2013.
