From October 11–13, the Global Strategy Lab was in Berlin for the World Health Summit 2026. AMR Policy Accelerator Managing Director Geneviève Boily-Larouche, GSL Director Mathieu Poirier, and Founder Steven Hoffman joined global health leaders and changemakers from politics, science, civil society and the private sector for three days of exchange and collaboration.
The event’s theme, From Crisis to Resilience: Innovating for Health, explored how we can work across sectors to address some of the world’s most pressing health challenges and build stronger, more resilient health systems. Our team contributed to side events and panel discussions on antimicrobial use targets, pandemic preparedness, and the multisectoral global health challenge of AMR.
