World Health Summit 2017

Global health policy has become a hallmark of our country's international responsibility. We have appreciably expanded Germany’s support for the establishment of functioning health systems and for the management of health crises. At the same time, Germany has substantially increased its financial contribution to the World Health Organisation and to numerous international activities in the area of global health policy. We will continue, in the future, to fulfil this international responsibility and actively shape global health policy. In this process, it is important to have close cooperation based on trust between politicians and civil society, foundations, scientists and business circles. The World Health Summit in Berlin is also a forum that is held in high international esteem and is dedicated to jointly furthering global health.
