‘We must choose health for peace and peace for health’: World Health Assembly kicks off

Health leaders from around the world are convening in Geneva this week for the 75th World Health Assembly. The series of high-level discussions will help shape how the world moves forward to boost health, and how it responds to the current and future pandemics, as well as ongoing public health threats. Host Marco Werman speaks with The World’s Elana Gordon about the week ahead.

Will you support The World?

Without federal support, local stations, especially in rural and underserved areas, face deep cuts or even closure. Vital public service alerts, news, storytelling, and programming like The World will be impacted. The World has weathered many storms, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to being your trusted source for human-centered international news, shared with integrity and care. We believe public media is about truth and access for all. As an independent, nonprofit newsroom, we aren’t controlled by billionaire owners or corporations. We are sustained by listeners like you.

Now more than ever, we need your help to support our global reporting work and power the future of The World.
