Is the Private Sector Ready to Co-Lead Global Health?

Explore the insights from our WHA78 side event and download the new white paper

At the 78th World Health Assembly, International SOS convened a high-level side event, “The Power of Partnerships: Is there a Wider Private Sector Role in Achieving the Global Health Agenda?”, bringing together global health leaders, development partners, and private sector innovators to explore a pressing question: can businesses move beyond funding and become strategic co-creators of resilient health systems?

The conversations revealed a clear shift. With a large number of the population in low- and middle-income countries employed in private enterprises, the private sector is no longer peripheral, it’s pivotal. But tensions remain: misaligned incentives, fragmented data, and short-term financing continue challenging progress.

Our new white paper captures these insights and offers bold, practical strategies for building trust-based, long-term partnerships that deliver impact at scale. Whether you're working in health systems strengthening, sustainability, policy, or strategic development, this paper is designed to inform and inspire.
