In 2025, the seventy-eighth World Health Assembly (WHA78) will take place in Geneva from 19 to 27 May 2025 with proceedings available via live stream.

The World Health Assembly is the decision-making body of the World Health Organization (WHO). It is attended by delegations from all WHO Member States and focuses on a specific health agenda prepared by the Executive Board. It is held annually in Geneva, Switzerland. 

The 70th WHA will be held in Geneva, Switzerland from 22-31 May. We will be regularly updating this page with details of NCD related events, advocacy materials and official statements. 

With WHA78 underway and the HLM4 in September fast approaching, the message from Geneva is clear: it’s time to move beyond declarations and toward delivery — grounded in solidarity, hope and a plan. 

In the lead up to the World Health Assembly held in Geneva (27 May-1 June 2024), NCDA brought together representatives of NCD alliances from the Advocacy Institute Accelerator and Regional Advocacy tracks.

WHA77 concluded in Geneva amidst a flurry of discussions, debates, and landmark decisions that highlighted both the triumphs and challenges of global health diplomacy in today’s complex geopolitical landscape.
