The WHO’s investment case for defeating meningitis
Explore the investment case for more information.
On 26th April 2024, the World Health Organization (WHO) held the first high-level meeting to defeat meningitis. The event was a global call to action to boost political, technical and financial commitments towards defeating meningitis.
The event included the launch of WHO’s publication Investing to defeat meningitis and beyond. The investment case sets out the resources needed to achieve the milestones in the WHO Global Road Map. Without investment, defeating meningitis by 2030 remains a hope, not a plan.
To mark the occasion, Meningitis Research Foundation and the Confederation of Meningitis Organisations, together with members from around the world, renewed their commitment to bring together the voices of advocates, patients, families and communities in the fight to defeat meningitis.
