In a message shared on social media, Dr. Tedros lauded Macron’s leadership in advancing global initiatives such as “Health For All” and “Stand With Science,” underscoring the importance of international collaboration in strengthening healthcare systems worldwide.
He highlighted discussions around leveraging the capabilities of the WHO Academy in Lyon by deepening partnerships with WHO collaborating centres.

The developments come at a time when global health governance remains a top priority, with nations seeking stronger frameworks to respond effectively to future pandemics and health emergencies.
The summit reinforces the commitment of global leaders and institutions to build a more resilient and equitable health architecture through cooperation, innovation, and science-driven policymaking.
