PM Modi Showcases India's Global Health Contributions At World Health Assembly

The 78th session of the World Health Assembly commenced on May 19, 2025, in Geneva, bringing together representatives from 194 member countries to tackle pressing global health issues.
This assembly follows over three years of negotiations that produced the WHO Pandemic Agreement aimed at improving global pandemic preparedness.
Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus highlighted WHO’s progress in medicine prequalification, climate crisis response, antimicrobial resistance, and partnerships with Gavi and UNICEF.
Tedros stated, "This is truly a historic moment," while noting a global health workforce shortfall projected to reach 11 million by 2030.
Member states are set to vote on adopting the Pandemic Agreement and a reduced 2026-2027 WHO budget, which could affect the organization’s financial sustainability and future priorities.
