Hi,

There is a propensity to give in to unbridled optimism at the beginning of the year, but it is best to be anchored in, and humbled by realities.

In this first edition, we bring you sort of the Geneva Health Files outlook for 2025 - the year when multilateralism is expected to be shaken up. As is our wont, we look at global health from the lens of science, politics, diplomacy, trade and governance.

Notwithstanding the near dystopian outlook for global health, we hope that 2025 will be a good year. (If you are as old as I am, you will know that it is not as bad as you think, it is usually worse!)

No matter what, nothing will dissuade policy wonks, health workers from doing what is in front of them. We draw inspiration from them.

Thank you for reading!


If you find our work valuable, become a paying subscriber. Tracking global health policy-making in Geneva is tough and expensive. Help us in raising important questions, and in keeping an ear to the ground. Readers paying for our work helps us meet our costs.

Our gratitude to our subscribers who ensure we stay in the game!


Cheers!

Priti

I. THE FILES BRIEF

What To Watch Out For in 2025 For Global Health Geneva

Here are some key expected developments in 2025, that we think could have an impact on global health policy-making in Geneva. Some are more immediate, while others, although seemingly far away could set in motion processes and dynamics that will eventually affect how global health is governed. After all, public health is also about politics, money, and power, apart from the science.
