Annual Report 2024 2025

The mission of the centre is to support a future where every person, regardless of geography, socioeconomic status or background, can access high-quality healthcare. The centre identifies and scales transformative solutions that build resilient, inclusive and efficient systems, empowering individuals and communities to thrive in health and well-being. Its work focuses on three foundational priorities. First, improving health and well-being by ensuring access to care at a time when disparities are increasing. Second, advancing intelligent health systems that optimize outcomes through innovation. Third, mitigating health risks by facilitating public- private collaborations to enhance global health security. This past year marked significant progress across these areas. Notably, the centre launched the Global Activator Network: Breast and Cervical Cancer Coalition, an initiative within the Global Alliance for Women’s Health, aimed at closing the women’s health gap. This coalition unites health ministries and public-private partners to strengthen national efforts to combat cervical and breast cancer, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. In January, the centre introduced the Unified Coalition for the Antimicrobial Resistance Response (UCARE Initiative) and the Davos Compact on AMR. These initiatives reflect the urgency of addressing antimicrobial resistance, which causes over one million deaths each year. The centre’s approach spans accelerating research and development, expanding diagnostics and vaccine access, promoting awareness and supporting sustainable practices in agriculture, alongside mechanisms to boost private-sector investment. The centre also launched the Global Future Council on Neurotechnology, which convened over 700 experts to explore the promise and ethical dimensions of neurotechnology, from cognitive enhancement to medical applications. In May, the centre launched the Brain Health Action Forum to unlock the full potential of individuals and societies by investing in brain health as a foundation for a healthier, more inclusive and more resilient future. Centre for Health and Healthcare The centre strives to make equitable, accessible healthcare a right, not a privilege – pioneering strategies to ensure the well-being of all. Shyam Bishen, Head, Centre for Health and Healthcare In South-East Asia, the centre introduced the Healthcare Country Activator for Digital Transformation and Health for All in Singapore, alongside the launch of a Digital Health Activator in India. These efforts aim to strengthen national digital health strategies and promote access for all. Reflecting on this year’s achievements, the Centre for Health and Healthcare remains steadfast in its commitment to advancing access, innovation and system resilience. Through global partnerships, cross-sector collaboration and a shared sense of purpose, it continues to build momentum towards a world where every individual can access the care they need. The progress captured in this report is not an endpoint, but a catalyst, propelling the centre’s work forward in advancing the future of health. Annual Report 2024-2025 Our Organization31
