Together today for a healthy tomorrow—Germany's role in global health

At the first ever G20 Health Ministers' Meeting in May in Berlin, we put international health crisis management to the test and carried out a simulation exercise to check information and decision-making pathways. Germany used its presidency of the G7 and G20 to put global health policy centre stage and to anchor the topics of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and health crisis management as a separate health track on the international agenda, and adopted an ambitious Declaration1 on Global Health at the G20 Health Ministers' Meeting in Berlin. BMG/Jochen Zick (action press) At the Federal Ministry of Health we have developed a Global Health Programme that allows us to rapidly offer other countries medical assistance in the event of disease outbreaks.
