The Health Minister Fahad Al-Jalajel is scheduled to participate in the G20 joint meetings of health and finance ministers in India on August 18 and 19.
The aim of the meeting of the G20 ministers of health, which is to be held under the theme “One Earth, One Family, One Future,” is to boost cooperation between the G20 countries and global health organizations in the field of public health, prior to building a global health network that will seek to increase coordination for providing treatments, vaccines and early diagnosis.
The meetings will discuss various initiatives submitted by the Kingdom during the G20 Summit in Riyadh in 2020, including the Vaccine Support Platform Initiative, the Digital Health Initiative and the Health Quality Center, and calling for an international conference to join efforts to eliminate antibiotic-resistant microbes.
The sidelines of the group’s event are planned to witness several meetings between ministers and leaders of international public health institutions, accompanied by round-table debates and discussions.
