158th session of the WHO Executive Board (EB158): Reform of the global health architecture and the UN80 initiative
On 6 February 2026, IFPMA delivered a statement on Agenda item 29.1 on reform of the global health architecture at the 158th session of the WHO Executive Board in Geneva.

- Forge partnerships to advance health globally.
We look forward to engaging meaningfully on this process and to working together toward a healthier future for all.
