The 9th edition of the Geneva Health Forum will explore the public health issues that affect the whole planet. Back in face-to-face format and in videoconference, the Geneva Health Forum will take place from May 3 to 5 at the Geneva International Conference Center (CICG). Organized by the University of Geneva and the Geneva University Hospitals (HUG), this 9th edition will focus on the consequences of environmental changes on the health of the planet's inhabitants such as the transmission of certain viruses (Covid 19, Ebola, for example) from animals to humans, facilitated by the destruction of ecosystems. The program includes dialogue, debates and the presentation of a hundred innovative solutions to some major challenges of global health. More than 400 speakers and 2000 participants from 80 different countries are expected. Learning from the Covid-19 crisis and better understanding the impact of environmental degradation on our health, speaking out against all attacks on the health system and populations around the world: with these subjects, the Geneva Health Forum (GHF) is at the heart of current events.
