Global health is at a crossroads. As funding from leading donors declines, the world is facing a growing burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), climate-related health threats, and deepening inequities in sexual and reproductive health.

The FP Health Forum @ UNGA80 will convene global leaders for a full day of programming focused on strategies to close global health gaps; collaborative ways to address the persistent inequities in access to care and medicine; and how to strengthen systems and improve health outcomes around the world.

Session One
Rethinking Global Health: Financing, Innovation, and Collaboration
10:30 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. ET

As geopolitical tensions rise and financial pressures mount, global health institutions are being asked to do more with less. This opening session brings together policymakers, multilateral leaders, and private-sector innovators to explore the future of global health governance, the geopolitics of disease elimination, and how new partnerships and investment strategies can deliver equitable care at scale.

Session Two
Reframing the Challenge: High-Value Returns on Investing in Health
2:30 – 5:00 p.m. ET

This session examines how to reframe health as a long-term investment, not a cost. Conversations will spotlight new approaches to resilient health systems, public-private partnerships that improve cardiovascular care delivery, innovations in women’s health data and policy, and decarbonization strategies that are advancing better health outcomes.

Session Three
Confronting the NCD Crisis: Prevention, Detection, and Care
5:30 – 8:30 p.m. ET

Held on the eve of the High-Level Meeting on noncommunicable diseases, this session explores the partnerships, projects, and strategic approaches needed to tackle the rising global burden of NCDs. Topics include obesity, cardiovascular disease, lung and kidney health, early diagnostics, and a bold vision for ending diseases like Alzheimer’s.
