Register now for the Partnership for Quality Medical Donations’ (PQMD) 9th Annual Global Health Policy Forum (GHPF). The 2026 Forum will again convene more than 100 senior leaders from over 70 organizations across industry, NGOs, philanthropy, multilateral institutions, and government to consider the political, economic, and operational dynamics shaping access to health worldwide.
Marking PQMD’s 25th anniversary, the Forum provides space to examine how power, policy, and partnership are evolving across the global health landscape, and what those changes mean for sustaining equitable access. Through candid discussion and forward-looking exchange, participants will engage with peers on where progress is being made, where pressure points are emerging, and how leaders are adapting to sustain access.

Designed for PQMD members, this interactive Finance Workshop convenes ahead of the Global Health Policy Forum to explore how global health work is being financed amid growing resource constraints.
Led by Karen Wilson, Founder & CEO of GV Partners, the session builds on her recent Pillar Talk, “”, and responds to growing interest in alternative financing approaches. The workshop will move beyond theory to break down what these models actually are, and what it takes to apply them effectively in practice. Through facilitated discussion, participants will explore real-world examples of blended finance, catalytic and results-based funding, impact investing, and demand-side mechanisms.
The session will prioritize candid, peer-level exchange and practical insights to support more strategic use of capital across global health efforts.

This day focuses on shared understanding. Sessions will explore the global forces reshaping health leadership, governance, and financing, and what they collectively signal about the current and emerging global health landscape. Discussions will surface how geopolitical shifts, fiscal constraints, and institutional adaptation are redefining roles, expectations, and the architecture that underpins access.
Building on the system-level view, Day 2 examines how these changes are experienced on the ground. The focus is on country leadership, cross-sector partnerships, and the practical realities of delivering access across health systems, supply chains, and last-mile delivery. Sessions will highlight how coordination, technology, and partnership models translate global dynamics into real-world outcomes.
The final day looks forward, focusing on what it will realistically take to sustain access over time. Discussions will examine how global health efforts can be financed, staffed, and delivered in an environment defined by constrained resources, rising noncommunicable disease burdens, increasing system stress, and prolonged humanitarian and health crises.
Across the day, participants will explore capital flows and financing models, long-term system and workforce capacity, disaster and shock resilience, pandemic preparedness, and the challenge of delivering care in protracted conflict and fragile settings. The emphasis is on readiness and durability: how to build models that hold under pressure and continue to deliver access in the face of recurring shocks.
