The 8th edition of the World Heart Summit will take place in Geneva, Switzerland — the heart of global health diplomacy — on 19-21 May 2023, ahead of the 76th World Health Assembly.
Leaders and innovators from government, business, civil society and academia will engage in transformational conversations as we explore some of the most pressing challenges in global cardiovascular health.
Together, we can bring cardiovascular disease to the top of the global health agenda and build a world where everyone, everywhere, has access to a healthy living environment and the care, treatment and information they need to keep their hearts healthy.
On the Thursday and Friday prior to the Summit, WHF will be hosting a series of events for our community, leadership and volunteers.
