***Update: Due to Covid-19, the 73rd World Health Assembly will be organized by videoconference in a virtual format. For this reason, this year’s Health Innovation Exchange global event and Health Innovation Marketplace will be postponed.***
GHA – German Health Alliance is acting as key partner of the Health Innovation Exchange (HIEx) global annual event taking place on the margins of the 73rd World Health Assembly, May 17-21, 2020 in Geneva, bringing together a variety of global health leaders, decision makers, investors and innovators aiming to fast-track outcomes towards SDG3 targets.
