#WHA77 Side Event | Data for Forecasting a Healthier Future - Geneva Health Week 2024

Description

The future is now: forecasting health trends is essential for addressing the world’s most pressing issues of both tomorrow and today. Migration, climate change, and economic security are among the many factors that will be indelibly shaped by health trends. These unprecedented challenges offer opportunities for new approaches and new thinking, new models of collaboration, and new investment. Using health data for forecasting illustrates potential outcomes and provides actionable insights. Understanding scenarios for what may lie ahead will shape how decisionmakers can address global health challenges. Data-based forecasts will allow stakeholders to unite around a common goal to protect and strengthen health in an interconnected world.
