The 79th World Health Assembly in Geneva has approved a new global strategy called "The Economics of Health for All". This plan covers the years 2026 to 2030 and encourages governments to include health directly in economic planning, not just as a social service. The strategy was created after research showed the strong link between public health and financial stability.

The strategy asks each country to see healthcare as important for national security and development. It asks governments to change public finance systems so health services get better, long-term funding. Health equity is a main goal, so people can access medical care without financial barriers.

The World Health Organization will give support as countries start using the strategy. The aim is to make health a top priority in economies worldwide. Leaders hope this will help countries protect their people and economies during future health emergencies.
