Unblocking Leadership on Healthcare and Healing the World

This event took place on Sunday, May 22, 2022 at 2:00 PM UTC.

With less than eight years left to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) #3 and #5, the Unlocking Eve panel will bring together leaders in politics and industry to explore why some countries have been able to achieve more representative systems, why others still lag behind, and what this means for the way healthcare systems are designed and healthcare solutions are delivered. Countries with more representative political systems as well as women in key leadership positions succeeded in saving more lives during the pandemic. As we move into an era of multiplying existential threats, we have an opportunity to embrace a shift towards new values, behaviours, and leadership. Embracing this shift that could help us to draw up a roadmap that will lead to the creation of a new system that supports plurality of perspective, drives new discussions, includes new decision- makers at the table, and delivers better health outcomes for all. How do we capitalize on the leadership lessons during the pandemic, in order to transform healthcare? What are the barriers we still need to overcome to ensure those who are the beneficiaries are also the architects of our healthcare systems? What are the accelerators we need to focus on for advancement of SDGs? What are the new models of leadership we need to embrace and further support?
