What’s Next for Global Health?

Session Summary

The landscape of global health is rapidly evolving. In the last year, major shifts in global policy approaches, funding, and partner commitments have dramatically reshaped the global health landscape. These changes have presented new challenges for the way countries approach health policy and continue to change how the world partners to address shared health challenges. Reductions in funding and support have forced many countries to rethink how they deliver essential healthcare programs and have turned traditional donor-driven partnership models on their head. Are these changes temporary or do they represent durable shifts in the way the world approaches our big health challenges? What does this mean for the coordination of global responses to new and emerging threats to health? What do these changes mean for global health partnership? Join the Ministers of Health from Ghana and Guyana in conversation with Dr. Rachel Vreeman, Director of the Arnhold Institute for Global Health at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, about what this new era may hold for global health partnership and policy.

Mount Sinai’s Arnhold Institute for Global Health is a programming partner for the 2026 Annual Summit.
