Dear Colleagues,
With the 79th World Health Assembly now in full swing in Geneva, for once we send you an early update on Tuesday, mostly compiling the great work of colleagues from Devex, Health Policy Watch, Geneva Health Files and many others, split between the ‘Palais’ and the WHO headquarters this year (for the official sessions), ànd also no doubt in many side events in the city. Occasionally, I watch the odd hybrid event here and there, like the Graduate institute’s pre-WHA briefing on Sunday, themed “Can global health (still) make progress under rupture? “, or the Accra Reset ‘clarion call’ (with a rather vigorous ‘MC’) on Monday evening. There’s quite some buzz around the Accra Reset – and for good reason. The Ghana president, John Mahama, certainly gives the impression he means business.
You get some of the main info from these and other sessions in our curated compilation – stay tuned for the follow-up (part 2) on Friday. You will notice that in this issue...
