Pathfinder is proud to sponsor GHLS24, taking place virtually November 18-21, 2024. The theme this year is “Leadership and Policy in Global Health: Navigating New Frontiers.” The symposium will explore what the changes in governance in the United States and in countries worldwide mean for global health. The global health community will explore how to make progress possible by using the power of our collective voice, working across disease areas, and fighting for sustainable funding and equitable policies to improve global health and well-being for all.
This year’s GHLS will occur amidst a year of enormous shifts. Approximately 40 national elections, including the U.S. presidential election, are — or already have — taken place worldwide. It is critical to assess the impact this watershed year will have on global health investments and policies, and understand how progress can continue to be made, despite these challenges.
Pathfinder is co-hosting one virtual session.
