"I ask you to make the transition from aid dependency to health sovereignty based on sustainable domestic financing.
One powerful tool for making that transition is health taxes.
Well-designed taxes on tobacco, alcohol and sugary drinks can reduce harmful consumption, prevent disease and save lives, while generating revenue for health and development.
And this is where we need your leadership.
You know the budget debates in your own countries better than anyone. You know where resources are allocated. And you have the power to advocate for investments in health."

Health systems face mounting pressure on multiple fronts: populations are aging, chronic disease is on the rise, workforce shortages persist, and climate change adds further strain.
At the same time, AI and digital tools are transforming how we diagnose, monitor, and deliver care. When deployed responsibly, they can flag outbreaks sooner, accelerate research, and reinforce primary care on the ground.
Yet technology alone cannot deliver resilience. It takes interoperable data, ethical oversight, equitable access, and a workforce equipped with both clinical expertise and digital fluency.
Building health systems fit for the future means combining innovation with human capacity, public trust, and sound governance.
Future-ready health systems: one of six central topics shaping the agenda of the World Health Summit 2026.

How can the global health architecture adapt to the changing geopolitical landscape, constrained resources, and growing health challenges?
At #WHS2026, the Keynote Session “Governing the Global Health Architecture in a Multipolar World” will examine how global health financing, governance, and leadership can evolve to build a more resilient, equitable, and sustainable global health system.
The discussion will explore how financing can become more sustainable, how countries can have a stronger voice in global decision-making, and how regional leadership, local manufacturing, South–South cooperation, and more equitable partnerships can strengthen the global health architecture.
