One year after the adoption of the WHO Pandemic Agreement, this high-level event – co – hosted by Unitaid and the International Pandemic Preparedness Secretariat (IPPS) – will focus on translating global commitments into tangible progress on pandemic preparedness and equitable access to health tools.

The discussion will center on two priorities: strengthening the therapeutics R&D pipeline, including the launch of the Therapeutics Development Coalition (TxDC) to better connect efforts from discovery to access; and advancing market resilience through regional manufacturing, technology transfer, and stronger regulatory systems to ensure timely and equitable access.

Bringing together governments, global health partners, and experts, the event will highlight practical solutions to accelerate innovation, improve coordination, and support more resilient and equitable responses to future pandemics.

This invitation-only roundtable, hosted by Unitaid, USP, and the Medicines Patent Pool, will bring together key stakeholders working to advance pandemic preparedness and health security in Africa. The discussion will focus on how the Medicines Supply Resilience (MedSuRe) Africa project – funded by Unitaid and the European Union and led by USP – can contribute to strengthening and aligning regional efforts to build more resilient pharmaceutical systems. Participants will explore opportunities to strengthen medicines markets, reinforce sustainable manufacturing and supply ecosystems, and enhance coordination with existing priority initiatives, including the operationalization of the WHO Pandemic Agreement. The roundtable aims to foster strategic dialogue on technical, policy, and partnership approaches needed to support long-term resilience and equitable access to essential health products during health emergencies.

This roundtable, co-organized with the Government of South Africa, will take stock of country progress toward cervical cancer elimination, reinforce political commitment to achieving the 90–70–90 targets by 2030, and highlight scalable, country-led approaches to integrating cervical cancer services within Primary Health Care (PHC) and related service platforms. Discussions will explore system-level enablers that support continuity of care, reduce loss to follow-up, strengthen accountability and transparent reporting, and promote collaboration among Member States and partners to accelerate progress toward elimination. The participation of Unitaid will bring a financing and market-access perspective to the roundtable.

Co-hosted by the Global Oxygen Alliance (GO₂AL) and the Permanent Mission of the United Republic of Tanzania, this high-level side event during the World Health Assembly will bring together ministers, ambassadors, donors, and partners to accelerate progress toward equitable access to medical oxygen—an essential yet often overlooked component of universal health coverage.

The session will feature an immersive virtual reality experience, followed by a cocktail reception to encourage dialogue and partnership building. Attendance is by invitation only, with a virtual participation option available for registered participants.

This high-level ministerial consultation convenes health and finance ministers from across the Southern African Development Community (SADC) to chart a sustainable path for long-acting HIV prevention. Co-hosted by the Republic of South Africa, the South African National AIDS Council and Unitaid, the closed-door roundtable focuses on scaling up access to lenacapavir – a breakthrough long-acting injectable for PrEP – through coordinated regional demand, domestic financing and regional manufacturing. Building on South Africa’s leadership and a February 2026 SADC ministerial mandate, the discussion aims to secure concrete commitments that shift HIV prevention from donor-dependent procurement toward regionally manufactured, domestically financed supply security – a flagship demonstration of African health sovereignty in action.

Health systems depend on strong supply chains—but these are increasingly under strain from climate shocks, while also contributing significantly to global emissions. Co-hosted by Unitaid, Health Care Without Harm (HCWH), and the Asian Development Bank (ADB), this high-level event will spotlight the urgent need to strengthen the resilience and sustainability of health supply chains.

Bringing together policymakers, community leaders, industry, and financing partners, the session will highlight both the risks and the opportunities—showcasing practical solutions, frontrunning initiatives, and policy approaches that can drive transformation at scale.

Positioned ahead of COP31, the event will contribute to shaping the global agenda on climate and health, reinforcing efforts such as the Belém Health Action Plan and advancing coordinated action toward more resilient, low-emission health systems.
