· Enabling health in cities: MHI launched its foundational perspective on the critical role cities can play in advancing health. The research suggests that a focus on health at the city level could help enable as much as 25 billion years of higher quality life worldwide. Drawing on this knowledge, MHI took the conversation to the World Governments Summit and the World Health Assembly to mobilize a cross-sectoral audience toward this vision. What’s next? MHI is partnering with city-level, national, and global stakeholders and then share findings, innovations, resources, and data in the public domain. · Closing the mental health financing gap: In collaboration with the Clinton Global Initiative, Kokoro, and Wellcome Trust, MHI built on momentum to chart a pathway toward unleashing mental health investment where it matters most at events convening hundreds of cross-sector leaders, hosted by influential voices such as Chelsea Clinton and the Lord Mayor of London. MHI is motivated by the international dialogue convened by World Bank and World Health Organization where United for Global Mental Health reported a yearly $200 billion funding gap for mental health. What’s next? MHI and its ecosystem partners will focus on closing the mental health financing gap by helping mobilize the financing required to match the scale of global need. · Closing the women’s health gap: MHI and the World Economic Forum sized the health and economic potential of investing in women’s health in a landmark report released during the World Economic Forum in Davos, finding a $1 trillion opportunity and paving the way for the launch of the Forum’s Global Alliance for Women’s Health. The effort has turned up the heat on momentum toward more investment in women’s health research and closing the gap. What’s next? MHI will dive deeper into insights from its flagship report and recent interactive, looking more closely at women’s heart health in the United States, as well as the health and economic opportunities of investing in menopause research. · Creating healthy workforces: MHI is working with employers worldwide to enable holistic health of employees. In April, MHI published the global business case for investing in employee health — a multi-trillion dollar opportunity — and outlined actions employers can take. What’s next? MHI has joined a formal partnership with the World Economic Forum’s Healthy Workforces Initiative, committing to help the global workforce improve holistic health and well-being, as well as advance the health of the communities they are in. · Enabling healthy longevity: MHI is looking at the full breadth of healthy longevity — from biomedical research to societal participation of older adults. MHI recently shared our research on the positive at a United Nations x AARP event, and also hosted Dr. Andrew Scott, expert longevity economist, for an event with more than 30 cross-sector organizations on the untapped potential of the global older adult population. What’s next? MHI will publish a series of key investment themes on healthy aging across sectors — encouraging global organizations to empower this growing and influential demographic. · Improving health equity and disability inclusion: MHI is working with the Missing Billion Initiative to highlight the need for better data collection on disabilities, improve disability inclusion in health systems, and advance global health equity goals. MHI recently co-convened several leaders on the sidelines of the World Health Assembly for an action-oriented dialogue on disability inclusive health in practice. What’s next? MHI will publish an article in collaboration with the Missing Billion Initiative that analyzes inequities along patient care pathways for persons with disability. · Enabling climate and health adaptation: MHI, the Health Innovation Exchange, Asian Development Bank, and Fiocruz came together on the sidelines of the World Health Assembly to discuss the steps needed to address climate-related health impacts — and preview our forthcoming report looking at innovations and case studies in health-related climate adaptation. What’s next? MHI will soon publish a report on climate and health, laying the foundation for forthcoming milestones at the UN General Assembly and COP29. · Addressing antimicrobial resistance: MHI joined fellow leaders in the global call to action to address antimicrobial resistance and highlight how public, private, and civil society can mobilize to create a safer world. What’s next? The upcoming UN General Assembly High-Level Meeting (HLM) on AMR is an opportunity to direct attention to the criticality of this issue, and chart a path forward to meaningfully address AMR. |
