2025 PQMD Global Health Policy Forum

This panel will examine how shifting political dynamics, rising nationalism, and changing donor environments are reshaping global health and development. Key topics will include the impact of geopolitical tensions - such as US-China relations - on humanitarian aid, and how economic sanctions, trade policies, and regional conflicts complicate global health responses. Speakers will explore how these factors influence global health priorities, from pandemic preparedness to food security, healthcare access, and beyond. With a focus on navigating complex international relations, this session will highlight both the opportunities and challenges of addressing health in a rapidly changing global landscape.
