The World Health Forum (WHF), established by Tsinghua University in 2021, is a high-level international platform for dialogue on major global health issues. Hosted by Tsinghua University and organized by the Vanke School of Public Health, the forum brings together leaders and experts from government, academia, international organizations, and industry to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and build consensus.

Population ageing is one of the most profound demographic shifts of the 21st century. As people live longer, the focus is shifting from extending lifespan to improving healthy life expectancy. Promoting healthy ageing and building sustainable longevity societies have become global priorities. Addressing these challenges requires coordinated efforts across public health, healthcare systems, technological innovation, and social governance.

The 6th World Health Forum will be held in Beijing on October 24–25, 2026, under the theme “Healthy Longevity and a Successful Ageing Society.” The forum will focus on key issues such as healthy ageing, disease prevention and risk management, and mental and functional well-being. It will also explore the roles of data and technology, care systems, and broader social and economic sustainability. Through high-level dialogue, the forum aims to bring together global expertise, promote knowledge sharing and collaborative innovation, and strengthen cross-disciplinary, cross-sectoral, and international cooperation to explore sustainable pathways toward healthy longevity societies.
