Global health governance is getting a long-overdue makeover, and the Global South is stepping into the spotlight. 🎤 Carsten Schicker, CEO of the World Health Summit, told CGTN at the Boao Forum for Asia that today's crises offer a chance to rebuild a fairer, more inclusive system—one that moves beyond traditional power hubs in the Global North.
💡 'We need fresh leadership and stronger South-South cooperation,' Schicker urged, highlighting how geopolitical tensions and eroding trust demand new solutions. With China positioned as a key driver, he envisions a resilient global health network that prioritizes equity—think vaccine access 2.0 but for all future challenges.
Since 2009, the World Health Summit has connected policymakers, scientists, and NGOs to tackle pressing issues. Now, as climate change and pandemics redefine risks, Schicker's call signals a transformational moment for countries often sidelined in decision-making. 🌱
