On 21 May 2021 in Rome, Italy, as chair of the G20 , and the European Commission will co-host the Global Health Summit.
The Summit is an opportunity for G20 and invited leaders, heads of international and regional organisations, and representatives of global health bodies, to share lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic, and develop and endorse a ‘Rome Declaration’ of principles.
Principles can be a powerful guide for further multilateral cooperation and joint action to prevent future global health crises, and for a joint commitment to build a healthier, safer, fairer and more sustainable world.
The Summit will build on
– the Coronavirus Global Response, a pledging marathon that last year raised close to €16 billion from donors worldwide for universal access to coronavirus treatments, tests and vaccinesthe existing work of multilateral institutions and frameworks, notably the World Health Organization and the International Health Regulations
– other health initiatives and processes, including those taking place in the G20 and G7
