Organization (WHO). President of the World Health Summit is Axel R. Pries, International President 2023 is Adnan Hyder, Senior Associate Dean for Research, Milken Institute School of Public Health at George Washington University, USA.

The World Health Summit strengthens collaboration and open dialogue guided by science, fosters global health as a key political issue and promotes the global
health debate in the spirit of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The World Health Summit stands for a science-driven and broad approach to global health
development. The key issues are therefore interdisciplinary, science-based, cross-sectoral, and concerted. The World Health Summit promotes health as a human right, along with good governance, as political decisions affect human health.

The academic foundation of the World Health Summit is the M8 Alliance of Academic Health Centers, Universities and National Academies, a unique network
of leading academic health centers, universities, and research institutions from all over the world. The International Presidency of the World Health Summit rotates
annually among the members.
