[Registeration] https://forms.gle/7pL9U9DFMkcF4ozd6

💬 How can we tackle non-communicable diseases through innovation?
💬 What does meaningful youth engagement look like in global health diplomacy?

These are the central questions driving the Global Health Diplomacy Forum 2025, organized by the Taiwan Healthcare Youth Alliance (THYA). The forum is scheduled to take place in Geneva, Switzerland from 13H to 17H on the 19th of May 2025. Through keynote speeches and roundtable discussions, participants will engage directly with renowned experts and institutional leaders to exchange insights and co-develop forward-looking perspectives

The forum will focus on innovative strategies for two main themes:

🔹 Innovative Health Strategies for Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs)
– Exploring scalable, interdisciplinary, and equity-centered innovations for prevention and care
– Case-sharing from health systems, academia, and initiatives

🔹 Sustainable Youth Engagement in International Health Affairs and Global Health Diplomacy
– Empowering youth voices in global health governance
– Building sustainable mechanisms for meaningful participation in policy processes

💡 In particular, the second session on Youth Engagement will feature an Empowerment Workshop, where all participants will take part in small-group discussions with our honorable speakers. This setting is designed to foster direct interaction, allowing emerging voices to engage meaningfully with global health leaders on how youth can be better supported and represented in global health affairs.
