Is global health a reality – or an illusion in a divided world? Nobel Laureates from different disciplines and a Young Scientist will discuss urgent questions of our time from scientific breakthroughs to global equities. The discussion probes whether health can truly transcend borders and will touch upon: Who defines global health and for whom? How do scientific breakthroughs translate into equitable access? What roles do politics, trust, and responsibility play? How can the next generation reshape global cooperation? Drawing on experiences from diplomacy and cutting-edge science, this session asks to rethink solidarity, innovation, and shared accountability for global health.
