Christos Tsagkaris: Three Key Directions for Global Health in 2026

Christos Tsagkaris, Orthopedic Surgery Resident at Solothurner Hospitals AG – soH, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“With only a few weeks left to Christmas, the European Public Health Association Global Health Executive Team invites you to add your message to our digital tree — a place where our wishes for the season and the year(s) to come can take root and shine.

Rooted in tradition and the collective knowledge we cultivated over the past year, this tree stands firm yet flexible — shaped by the winds of global health challenges and hopes alike. Those winds have carried with them pressing issues: from persistent inequalities and chronic diseases to health system fragility and the climate crisis. They’ve also carried momentum, potential to transform wishes into interaction, and inter-action into impact.

My wish is to keep growing with this community — within and beyond Europe — nurturing understanding and collaboration that is truly beyond borders in scope and spirit.

Earlier today, during a community call with the Coalition for Global Health Innovation (CGHI), Dr. Fernando Zacarías and Charli Sitong Zhang, MPhil pointed to three key directions for global health in 2026: artificial intelligence (AI), intergenerational learning, and planetary health.

Fostering not only smarter human-machine interactions but also deeper human-to-human understanding — across age, geography, perspective, and lived experience — all while staying aware of our shared environment and its quiet authority over human designs is a prudent way forward.

Looking forward to reading your wishes — on the tree and in the comments: Elena Petelos, Greg Williams, Tina D Purnat, Neville Calleja, Dimitra Lingri, Tit Albreht.”
