G20 health ministers gathered in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to throw their backing behind the World Health Organization's inaugural investment financing initiative [1]. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus reported that the organization has secured 63 commitments totaling more than $1 billion in pledges [1]. He called on countries to make additional commitments during the G20 leaders' summit scheduled for November 18-19, 2024, to be chaired by Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, in support of the WHO's new global health strategy aimed at saving 40 million lives [1].
Among the nations and institutions that have already pledged their support are Germany, Norway, Singapore, South Africa, Turkey, the European Union, and the Wellcome Trust [1]. Tedros noted that more than half of the commitments come from first-time voluntary contributors, with many originating from Africa, the Western Pacific, and Southeast Asia regions [1]. South Africa announced its commitment to advancing WHO sustainable financing during its tenure as G20 president in 2025 [1].
