Global health at a crossroads: WHO’s 2025 Emergency Response to outbreaks, conflicts and humanitarian crises
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The year 2025 has emerged as a defining moment for global health, shaped by intersecting crises that demand urgent, coordinated action. Against a backdrop of conflict, disease outbreaks, displacement and climate shocks, the WHO has launched a $1.5 billion Health Emergency Appeal to address the scale and complexity of mounting health threats worldwide.1 2 This appeal is not merely a call for funding but is a recognition that the world is confronting a new era of health emergencies that are increasingly frequent, protracted and interconnected.
