Hard-won gains in access to essential medicines, vaccines, and diagnostics are under siege from political retreat, corporate profiteering, and deadly funding cuts. Yet governments, multilateral initiatives, and civil society are still proving that progress is possible when lives are valued over profits.

This event, hosted on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, will chart how the world can keep advancing access to medicines—because retreat is not an option.
