The Leaders’ Health Summit kicked off in Riyadh as part of the Global Health Exhibition 2025, under the patronage of the Ministry of Health, with broad participation from ministers of health, CEOs, global healthcare leaders, and innovation experts from around the world. The summit aims to explore the future of healthcare, innovation, and digital transformation, and to envision the next decade of global health systems.
The summit seeks to enhance international dialogue on health policy and investment development, empower innovation and strategic partnerships between the public and private sectors, and highlight global best practices in artificial intelligence, vaccine manufacturing, and preventive care. These discussions aim to build more efficient, sustainable, and inclusive healthcare systems aligned with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030, which places human well-being and quality of life at the heart of health development.
Over the course of four days, the summit features key sessions addressing major themes, including national and global health policies and investments, innovation and digital transformation, the future of longevity and preventive care, as well as future health systems and patient experience. The event gathers national and international leaders alongside experts from the World Health Organization (WHO), the London School of Economics (LSE), and renowned global hospitals, as well as executives from leading international healthcare companies such as GSK, Sanofi, Philips, Abbott, BD, and MSD.
The Global Health Exhibition 2025 comprises four main forums — the Leaders’ Summit, the Medical Excellence Forum, the Digital Health Forum, and the Investors Forum — which together form the scientific pillars of the event. These forums bring together ministers, experts, and innovation leaders to discuss the future of healthcare, artificial intelligence, and health sector investment, reaffirming the Kingdom’s commitment to integrating policy, innovation, and investment and to building a sustainable healthcare ecosystem that enhances quality of life and human prosperity.
