When global health experts and country leaders come together, innovative ideas emerge. This year, the Reaching the Last Mile Summit in Abu Dhabi brought together experts to build momentum toward ridding the world of infectious diseases such as malaria, polio and Guinea worm. World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim’s keynote address explains why key investments in health are critical and pay dividends for generations to come.
Jim Yong Kim, 12th President of the World Bank: “This region has always been famous for medical advancements centuries ago. Today, we gather because of the vision of HH Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, to wipe out many of the world’s deadliest diseases.”
