13–14 June 2023, Istanbul, Türkiye

WHO/Europe is convening the first-of-its-kind Partners Forum in Istanbul, Türkiye, for leading health contributors from across Europe, the Caucasus and central Asia. For a day and a half, over 100 representatives will come together to enhance our health sector partnerships with a series of panel discussions and presentations on the key health and well-being challenges being faced across the WHO European Region.

Taking advantage of the current momentum for public health, the Partners Forum will provide a platform to consider a wide range of expertise and perspectives, to explore genuine opportunities for sustainable health funding across the Region, and ultimately to strengthen partnerships, both new and well established.

The Partners Forum will take place on 13–14 June 2023 at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Istanbul Şişli.

"Our shared responsibility is to deliver, and only by innovating beyond the methods of the past and embracing proper sustainable financing models can we turn the vision of better health for nearly one billion people into reality. The silver lining of the pandemic is that we now have the unique opportunity to do so and rise to the challenge."

Dr Hans Henri P. Kluge, Regional Director for Europe
