78th WHA in Geneva, Switzerland - May 19-27, 2025

The Seventy-eighth World Health Assembly is being held in Geneva, Switzerland, May 19–27 2025. The theme of this year’s Health Assembly is: One World for Health.

GlobalSkin has been actively working in partnership with its member organizations, broader civil society, the World Health Organization (WHO) and its member states to address the under-estimation and under-prioritization of skin diseases. Côte d' Ivoire, together with Nigeria, Togo, Micronesia, China, Egypt and Colombia are now leading an initiative to place skin diseases firmly on the global public health agenda and have proposed a World Health Assembly Resolution on “Skin diseases as a global public health priority”. GlobalSkin has joined many other organizations in calling for the adoption of this resolution which represents an overdue recognition of the immense burden that skin diseases place on individuals, communities, and health systems worldwide. If adopted at the 78th World Health Assembly, the resolution will drive investment in resources, research, and healthcare interventions.
