The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) is calling for greater involvement of countries and regional institutions in reshaping the global health system amid tightening financial resources and concerns over fragmented health services.
PAHO Director Dr. Jarbas Barbosa, addressing the World Health Summit 2026 in Berlin, said clearer responsibilities at national, regional and global levels could reduce duplication and improve the use of limited resources.
“As the global health architecture evolves, regional institutions must have a stronger voice in shaping decisions, not only in implementing them,” Barbosa said.
